[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example:

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0026] A buffered connection toggle structure includes a first connecting rod 1 and a second connecting rod 2. The first connecting rod 1 is slidably connected to the interior of the second connecting rod 2, and a buffer assembly 3 is provided on the first connecting rod 1 extending into the interior of the second connecting rod 2.

[0027] The buffer assembly 3 is used to buffer the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2. The buffer assembly 3 consists of a moving rod 4, a connecting block 5, a fixed rod 6 and a first elastic ball 7. The moving rod 4 is located outside the first connecting rod 1 and inside the second connecting rod 2. The connecting block 5 is located at the end of the moving rod 4 away from the first connecting rod 1. Multiple sets of fixed rods 6 are located at the end of the connecting block 5 away from the moving rod 4. The first elastic ball 7 is located at the end of the fixed rod 6 away from the connecting block 5.

[0028] Furthermore, a fixing block 8 is provided at one end of the movable rod 4 near the first connecting rod 1, and the movable rod 4 is connected to the first connecting rod 1 through the fixing block 8. By connecting the fixing block 8 to the first connecting rod 1, the movable rod 4 can be connected to the first connecting rod 1 through the fixing block 8. When the first connecting rod 1 moves, it drives the fixing block 8 to move, thereby causing the movable rod 4 to move.

[0029] The second connecting rod 2 has a receiving block 9 located inside and below the connecting block 5. The receiving block 9 has a receiving groove 10 inside, and a second elastic ball 11 is located inside the receiving groove 10. The external structural size of the first elastic ball 7 and the second elastic ball 11 are designed to correspond to the internal structural size of the receiving groove 10. The first elastic ball 7 is connected to the second elastic ball 11 through the receiving groove 10. When the moving rod 4 moves, it drives the connecting block 5 to move, causing multiple sets of fixed rods 6 to move, which in turn drives the first elastic ball 7 to move into the receiving groove 10 and into contact with the second elastic ball 11. This causes the second elastic ball 11 to be compressed and deformed. The deformed first elastic ball 7 and the second elastic ball 11 come into contact with the inner wall of the receiving groove 10, thus buffering the connecting block 5 and the moving rod 4. Therefore, the first connecting rod 1 can be buffered.

[0030] Furthermore, a damping spring 12 is provided on the outer side of the moving rod 4, and a guide block 13 is provided inside the second connecting rod 2 and located on the outer side of the moving rod 4. The two ends of the damping spring 12 are connected to the fixed block 8 and the guide block 13 respectively. When the moving rod 4 is displaced, the fixed block 8 cooperates with the guide block 13 to squeeze the damping spring 12. The damping spring 12 is squeezed and generates a rebound force, which buffers the fixed block 8, thereby further buffering the first connecting rod 1.

[0031] Furthermore, the guide block 13 has a sliding groove inside. The size of the internal structure of the sliding groove is designed to correspond to the size of the external structure of the moving rod 4. The moving rod 4 is connected to the guide block 13 through the sliding groove, so that the moving rod 4 can be slidably connected to the guide block 13. When the moving rod 4 is displaced, the sliding groove can prevent the guide block 13 from affecting the displacement of the moving rod 4.

[0032] This utility model also provides a three-layer ring sorting device, including the buffer connection actuation structure provided in any of the above embodiments. Because it possesses all the technical features of the buffer connection actuation structure provided in any of the above embodiments, it has the same technical effect as the buffer connection actuation structure. It includes a connecting frame 14, with multiple sets of first transport trolleys 15 inside the connecting frame 14. A second transport trolley 16 is located below the first transport trolley 15, and a third transport trolley 17 is located at the bottom of the second transport trolley 16. A first connecting rod 1 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first transport trolley 15, and a second connecting rod 2 is fixedly connected to the outside of the second transport trolley 16. When the first transport trolley 15 and the second transport trolley 16 are displaced, the first connecting rod 1 connects to the outside of the second transport trolley 16. The connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2, together with their internal buffer assembly 3, can buffer the vibrations generated by the operation of the first transport trolley 15 and the second transport trolley 16, preventing items placed on the first transport trolley 15, the second transport trolley 16, and the third transport trolley 17 from shaking and falling off their tops, thus affecting the sorting of items. The first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 are connected to the first transport trolley 15 and the second transport trolley 16 respectively. When the connecting frame 14 moves the first transport trolley 15, the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 can simultaneously move the second transport trolley 16 and the third transport trolley 17 to sort the items, increasing the efficiency of item sorting.

[0033] In this embodiment, the specific implementation scenario is as follows: the first connecting rod 1 and the second connecting rod 2 are respectively connected to the first transport trolley 15 and the second transport trolley 16. When the connecting frame 14 drives the first transport trolley 15 to move, the first connecting rod 1, in conjunction with the second connecting rod 2, can simultaneously drive the second transport trolley 16 and the third transport trolley 17 to move, sorting the items and increasing the efficiency of item sorting. When the first transport trolley 15, the second transport trolley 16, and the third transport trolley 17 move, vibration is generated, causing the first connecting rod 1 to move. When the first connecting rod 1 moves, it drives the fixed block 8 to move, causing the moving rod 4 to move. When the moving rod 4 moves, it drives the connecting block 5 to move, causing multiple sets of fixed rods 6 to move, driving... The first elastic ball 7 is displaced and moved into the receiving groove 10, where it comes into contact with the second elastic ball 11. The second elastic ball 11 is compressed, causing deformation. The deformed first elastic ball 7 and the second elastic ball 11 come into contact with the inner wall of the receiving groove 10, thus buffering the connecting block 5 and the moving rod 4. This allows the first connecting rod 1 to be buffered. At the same time, as the moving rod 4 is displaced, the fixing block 8, in conjunction with the guide block 13, compresses the damping spring 12. The damping spring 12 is compressed and generates a rebound force, which buffers the fixing block 8 and further buffers the first connecting rod 1. This prevents items placed on the first transport trolley 15, the second transport trolley 16, and the third transport trolley 17 from shaking and falling off their tops, which would affect the sorting of items.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
