DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby making a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0020] It should be noted that when a component is described as "fixed to" another component, it can be directly on the other component or may have a component in between. When a component is considered "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or may have a component in between. When a component is considered "set on" another component, it can be directly set on the other component or may have a component in between. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this document are for illustrative purposes only.

[0021] As attached Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 The diagram shows the material sorting equipment of this utility model, including a conveyor belt 1. The end of the conveyor belt 1 has a receiving device for receiving materials. Material-dispensing devices 2 and barcode scanning devices 3 are installed at intervals along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1. The material-dispensing device 2 includes side plates 4 connected to both sides of the conveyor belt 1, with a connecting frame 5 installed between the side plates 4. A rotating shaft 6, horizontally above the conveyor belt 1, is installed on the connecting frame 5. The rotating shaft 6 is rotatably connected to the connecting frame 5, and a dispensing plate 7, fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 6, is installed on the rotating shaft 6. Torsion springs 8 are installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 6. The dispensing plate 7 has two states: a first state where it hangs down close to the conveyor belt 1, and a second state where it is pushed open in the conveying direction by the material on the conveyor belt 1. In the first state, the torsion spring 8 is not subjected to external force; in the second state, the torsion spring 8 is tightened.

[0022] As attached Figure 2 As shown, in the first state, there is a gap between the bottom end of the deflector plate 7 and the conveyor belt 1, which allows small amounts of material to pass through. When a large amount of material is piled up on the conveyor belt 1 and passes through the material-distributing device 2, the deflector plate 7 pushes aside the material piled on top, allowing the bottom material to pass through first, followed by the upper material, thus spreading the piled material flat and allowing it to pass through in an orderly manner, avoiding chaos. (See attached diagram) Figure 3 As shown, when the volume of material on conveyor line 1 is greater than the gap between the baffle 7 and the conveyor belt 1, the material can be lifted by the baffle 7 and pass through. The friction between the material and the conveyor belt 1 is greater than the friction between materials, and a suitable torsion spring 8 needs to be selected to achieve the above function.

[0023] As attached Figure 4As shown, the torsion spring 8 includes a helical body 81 and a first joint 82 and a second joint 83 connected to both ends of the helical body 81, the first joint 82 is tangent to the end of the helical body 81, and the second joint 83 is perpendicular to the helical body 81, a rivet 9 is mounted on the connecting frame 5, the end portion of the rotating shaft 6 has a connecting piece 61, the connecting piece 61 has a insertion hole 62, the torsion spring 8 is sleeved on the end portion of the rotating shaft 6, the first joint 82 of the torsion spring 8 abuts against the rivet 9, and the second joint 83 is inserted into the insertion hole 62, so that the installation is convenient and stable. The outer side of the rotating shaft 6 is provided with a cover 14, which accommodates the end portion of the rotating shaft 6 and the torsion spring 8, avoids the torsion spring 8 from being popped out and falling off due to external touch, and guarantees the normal work of the material stirring device 2.

[0024] The inner side of the side plate 4 is provided with a limiting piece 10, the stirring plate 7 abuts against the limiting piece 10 in the first state, and is in the vertical state. The both sides of the conveying belt 1 are provided with a partition plate 13 extending from the inlet of the conveying belt 1 to the material stirring device 2, so as to prevent the stacked materials entering the conveying belt 1 from falling from the side. Similarly, the side plate 4 also prevents the upper layer materials from falling from the side when the stirring plate 7 stirs, so that all the materials can pass in order.

[0025] The receiving device includes a linear drive device 11 and at least two boxes 12, the linear drive device 11 includes a track and a sliding block horizontally and slidingly connected with the track, and the box 12 is connected with the sliding block, and the linear drive device 11 drives the sliding block to move according to the information scanned by the code scanning device 3, so that the corresponding box 12 is butted against the conveying belt 1 to receive the corresponding materials.

[0026] In use, the materials enter the conveying belt 1 from one end, and are spread and laid flat on the conveying belt 1 by the stirring plate 7 when the conveying belt 1 moves through the material stirring device 2, and pass through the code scanning device 3, the code scanning device 3 scans and identifies the classification of the materials, so that the linear drive device 11 drives the corresponding box 12 to move to the end of the conveying belt 1 to receive the falling materials, and the classification is completed.
