[0037] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this utility model can be combined with each other.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1-3 This embodiment provides a multi-station sorting machine 200, which includes a frame 210, a conveyor belt 220, and multiple sorting tables 230;

[0039] The frame 210 is equipped with a material guide cavity 211, and the upper end of the frame 210 is equipped with a material conveying area 212, multiple material selection areas 213 and multiple material unloading areas 214; the material conveying area 212 extends along a first preset direction, the multiple material selection areas 213 are distributed on both sides of the material conveying area 212 along the first preset direction, and the multiple material selection areas 213 on the same side are arranged sequentially at intervals along the first preset direction; each material selection area 213 is equipped with a corresponding material unloading area 214 on both sides along a second preset direction;

[0040] The conveyor belt 220 is connected to the material conveying area 212 and is used to convey materials along the first preset direction; each material selection area 213 is connected to a corresponding selection table 230;

[0041] Among them, the material conveying area 212 and multiple material selection areas 213 are blocked from the guide cavity 211, and each material unloading area 214 is provided with a unloading port 215 communicating with the guide cavity 211; the second preset direction is perpendicular to the first preset direction.

[0042] Please refer to Figures 1-3 The working principle of this multi-station sorting machine 200 is as follows:

[0043] The multi-station sorting machine 200 includes a frame 210, a conveyor belt 220 and multiple sorting tables 230; the frame 210 is equipped with a material guide cavity 211, and the upper end of the frame 210 is equipped with a material conveying area 212, multiple material sorting areas 213 and multiple material unloading areas 214.

[0044] Among them, the material conveying area 212 is along the first preset direction (e.g., Figure 2 Extending in the direction indicated by arrow B, multiple material selection areas 213 are distributed on both sides of the material conveying area 212 along the first preset direction, and multiple material selection areas 213 on the same side are arranged sequentially at intervals along the first preset direction; each material selection area 213 extends along the second preset direction (as shown by arrow B). Figure 2 Material unloading areas 214 are configured on both sides of the direction indicated by the middle arrow A; the conveyor belt 220 is connected to the material conveying area 212 and is used to convey materials along the first preset direction; each material selection area 213 is connected to a selection table 230; thus, in this way, multiple material selection areas 213 can be distributed on both sides of the material conveying area 212 along the first preset direction, thereby forming multiple relatively independent material selection stations along the first preset direction. In this way, it is convenient to configure personnel at each selection station to perform corresponding material selection work. In this way, the personnel at each station can independently complete the material selection work, and the conveying speed can be adapted to make it easier for each personnel to cooperate according to the material conveying speed, thereby making the material selection work more efficient.

[0045] In addition, when configuring the material conveying area 212 and multiple material selection areas 213, a corresponding trough structure can be configured at the upper end of the frame 210 to form an independent material conveying area 212 and multiple material selection areas 213. This ensures that the material conveying area 212 and multiple material selection areas 213 are blocked from the guide cavity 211, thereby preventing materials in the material conveying area 212 and multiple material selection areas 213 from accidentally entering the guide cavity 211. Each material unloading area 214 is provided with a unloading port 215 that communicates with the guide cavity 211, which facilitates the staff at each selection station to transfer the sorted materials to the guide bin for collection.

[0046] It should be noted that the second preset direction is perpendicular to the first preset direction. Therefore, the staff at each sorting station can push or push the material to the discharge port 215 on both sides, which makes it easier for the staff to operate. This allows the sorting work to be arranged for both right-handed and left-handed staff.

[0047] In summary, the multi-station sorting machine 200 has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and can improve sorting efficiency.

[0048] Further, please refer to Figures 1-6 In this embodiment, when materials on the conveyor belt 220 are introduced into the sorting table 230 for sorting, to improve sorting efficiency and facilitate workers' visual selection of impurities or materials of different qualities, each sorting table 230 includes a base 231, a light-emitting unit 232, and a light-transmitting sorting plate 233. Both the light-emitting unit 232 and the light-transmitting sorting plate 233 are connected to the base 231, with the light-transmitting sorting plate 233 positioned above the light-emitting unit 232. The light-transmitting sorting plate 233 is used to receive materials removed from the conveyor belt 220. This arrangement allows the light-emitting unit 232 to emit light onto the light-transmitting sorting plate 233, thereby increasing the brightness of the light-transmitting plate. This is particularly beneficial for selecting impurities from the materials or for grading the materials, thus improving the efficiency and accuracy of workers' visual selection of impurities or materials of different qualities.

[0049] Furthermore, during use, as the usage time increases, the light-emitting unit 232 may malfunction, and the light-transmitting selection plate 233 may develop more scratches or discoloration. Therefore, in order to facilitate the replacement or maintenance of the light-emitting unit 232 and the light-transmitting selection plate 233, both the light-emitting unit 232 and the light-transmitting selection plate 233 are detachably connected to the base 231.

[0050] Furthermore, during use, in order to facilitate the maintenance of the light-emitting unit 232 and the light-transmitting sorting plate 233, the base 231 can be movably connected to the material sorting area 213 to adjust the position of the sorting table 230 to be maintained, so that it can be partially moved out or removed, thereby improving maintenance efficiency and reducing maintenance difficulty.

[0051] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-6 In this embodiment, the sorting table 230 is detachably connected to the material sorting area 213 of the frame 210. Based on this, a slide rail 234 extending along a second preset direction can be arranged in the material sorting area 213, and a slider that slides with the slide rail 234 is connected to the base 231. Therefore, the position of the sorting table 230 can be adjusted by sliding the slider with the slide rail 234, which facilitates its maintenance.

[0052] Further, please refer to Figures 1-6 In this embodiment, to prevent lightweight debris from falling into the sorting workshop environment, the multi-station sorting machine 200 also includes a negative pressure fan 240 connected to the frame 210. The negative pressure fan 240 is used to create a negative pressure airflow in the guide chamber 211. The negative pressure airflow is used to guide the material introduced through the discharge port 215 to the discharge port 216 of the guide chamber 211. This method facilitates the collection of debris at the sorting point and prevents dust falling off the material during the sorting process from mixing into the workshop environment, thereby improving the cleanliness of the workshop environment. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the debris or dust at the sorting point is introduced into the guide chamber 211 through the discharge port 215 and collected under the action of the negative pressure airflow. The material with debris or dust separated can be returned to the conveyor belt 220 by the workers, or removed from the sorting table 230 to the material collection container corresponding to each sorting table 230.

[0053] Furthermore, to improve the material discharge efficiency of the guide cavity 211, the discharge port 216 of the guide cavity 211 is located in the middle along the first preset direction. The bottom of the guide cavity 211 is inclined, and the middle part is at its lowest position, to facilitate the guidance of debris in the guide cavity 211 towards the discharge port 216. Additionally, to facilitate the installation of the negative pressure fan 240, a discharge pipe 217 is provided at the discharge port 216, and the negative pressure fan 240 is connected to the required discharge pipe 217.

[0054] Based on the above, please refer to Figures 1-7 This embodiment also provides a sorting system 300, which includes a feeder 310, a first collecting cylinder 320, a second collecting cylinder 330, and the multi-station sorting machine 200 described above.

[0055] The feeder 310 is used to convey materials to the feeding position of the conveyor belt 220; the first collecting cylinder 320 and the second collecting cylinder are used to collect the materials output from the unloading position of the conveyor belt 220 and the materials discharged from the discharge port 216, respectively.

[0056] The sorting system 300 conveys the material to be sorted to the conveyor belt 220 via the feeder 310. The material on the conveyor belt 220 moves along a first preset direction and passes through the corresponding workstations of multiple sorting tables 230 in sequence, so that the material can undergo at least one sorting operation in this process. The material is then discharged from the conveyor belt 220 or discharged from the sorting table 230 to the corresponding position. The first collecting cylinder 320 and the second collecting cylinder are used to collect the material output from the discharge position of the conveyor belt 220 and the material discharged from the discharge port 216, respectively.

[0057] In addition, as can be seen from the foregoing, a light-emitting unit 232 is provided on the sorting table 230. The purpose of this is to facilitate the sorting of materials to be sorted, thereby improving sorting efficiency and sorting accuracy. Furthermore, the sorting system 300 also includes a supplementary light unit 340, which is disposed above the conveyor belt 220. The purpose of this is to facilitate the sorting of materials on the conveyor belt 220 by the staff.

[0058] The above are merely specific embodiments of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
