[0028] The implementation of the present application will be described by specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present application from the content disclosed in the specification.

[0029] It should be understood that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. shown in the drawings attached to the specification are only used to understand and read the content disclosed in the specification by those skilled in the art, and are not used to limit the implementation conditions of the present application, so they do not have technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change of the proportion relationship or adjustment of the size, without affecting the effects and purposes that can be achieved by the present application, should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed by the present application. At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" used in the specification are only for the convenience of clear description, and are not used to limit the scope of the present application. The change or adjustment of the relative relationship without substantially changing the technical content is also considered as the scope of the present application.

[0030] In order to describe the present application in detail, first, the material sorting system of the present application will be described in detail.

[0031] As Figure 1As shown, the present application provides a material sorting system, which comprises a conveying line 1, and a feeding device 2, a first scanning device 3, a labeling device 4, a second scanning device 5 and a sorting device 6 are sequentially arranged in the conveying direction of the conveying line 1. The conveying line 1 is used for conveying materials, and the conveying line 1 is divided into two, which are the first conveying line 11 and the second conveying line 12, and the conveying speeds of the two conveying lines 1 are different. The first conveying line 11 is before the material enters the sorting device 6, and the sorting device 6 is arranged on the second conveying line 12, and a plurality of sorting devices 6 are arranged on the second conveying line 12, and the sorting device 6 is used for sorting the materials to the corresponding positions.

[0032] The feeding device 2 is used for placing materials on the conveying line 1. As shown in Figure 1 and 2 The feeding device 2 comprises a moving mechanism 21, a suction cup 22 and a rack 23, the rack 23 is located on the side of the conveying line 1, the suction cup 22 is installed on the moving mechanism 21, and the moving mechanism 21 is located between the rack 23 and the conveying line 1. A cylinder is installed on the moving mechanism 21, and the suction cup 22 is installed on the cylinder. The suction cup 22 is lowered when sucking and placing the material disc, and the suction cup 22 is raised during movement to prevent friction between the suction cup and the rack or the conveying line 1. The moving mechanism 21 moves the suction cup 22 above the rack 23, the suction cup 22 is lowered, the material is adsorbed by the suction cup 22, then the material is moved from the rack 23 to the conveying line by the moving mechanism 21, and after the suction cup 22 is lowered, the material disc falls on the conveying line 1.

[0033] The height of the suction cup 22 is limited, so a second lifting mechanism 234 is arranged on the rack 23, and the material disc on the rack 23 is lifted by one material disc height every time one material disc is sucked, so that the height of the material taken by the suction cup 22 is consistent every time. The bottom plate 231 is provided with a baffle 24, and four baffles 24 are arranged on the four corners of the bottom plate 231, so as to limit the material disc.

[0034] As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The rack 23 comprises a bottom plate 231, and each time the material is stacked and placed on the bottom plate 231. In order to lift the material, a notch 232 is arranged on the bottom plate 231, and a lifting plate 233 is arranged at the notch 232, and the lifting plate 233 is lifted by the second lifting mechanism 234. The notch on the bottom plate 231 is to ensure that the lifting plate 233 is flat with the bottom plate 231 after the first material disc is placed on the bottom plate, instead of the lifting plate 233 protruding from the bottom plate 231.

[0035] A vertical plate 236 is provided at the rear of the base plate 231, and a rack 238 is provided on the vertical plate 236. A connecting plate 235 is provided between the lifting plate 233 and the vertical plate 236. The connecting plate 235 is vertically arranged and a second lifting power 237 is provided on the connecting plate 235. In this embodiment, the second lifting power 237 is a servo motor, and a gear is installed at the output end of the servo motor. The gear meshes with the rack 238. In order to facilitate the rotation of the gear, a strip-shaped opening is provided on the vertical plate 236 at the corresponding gear position to avoid the gear.

[0036] The base of the second lifting power unit 237 is mounted on the connecting plate 235, and a reinforcing plate 239 is provided between the connecting plate 235 and the lifting plate 233. A guide rail 240 is provided on the upright plate 236, and a slider 241 that cooperates with the guide rail 240 is provided on the connecting plate 235. A detector 242 is also installed on the upright plate 236, and a detection block 243 is provided on the connecting plate 235. When the detection block 243 rises and falls with the lifting plate 233 to the corresponding position, the detector 242 detects the signal from the detection block 243, thus controlling the second lifting power unit 237 to perform the corresponding action. Limiting blocks 244 are provided at both the upper and lower ends of the guide rail 240 to limit the rising and falling of the connecting plate 235.

[0037] The lifting plate 233 and the reinforcing plate 239 are connected by bolts. To prevent the bolts from wearing down the material, countersunk holes are provided on the lifting plate 233. When the bolts connect the lifting plate 233 and the reinforcing plate 239, the top of the bolts is below the countersunk holes and the bolts do not contact the material tray.

[0038] To speed up the process and improve production efficiency, multiple feeding devices 2 can be installed on the transmission line 1 of the entire material sorting system. In this embodiment, three feeding devices 2 are installed on both sides of the transmission line 1.

[0039] The first scanning device 3 is used to scan the first label on the material. Each material tray contains information about the type of material. After scanning the corresponding first label, the first scanning device 3 identifies each material tray.

[0040] The labeling device 4 is used to affix a second label to the materials. After the first scanning device 3 identifies the corresponding first label, the labeling device 4 affixes a second label to the materials according to the materials required for each type of PCB board and the quantity of each material. The second label indicates which type of PCB board the material tray is intended for, i.e., which production line the material belongs to.

[0041] The second scanning device 5 is used to scan the second label on the material. The second scanning device 5 scans each material tray in sequence. Therefore, after the material tray passes the second scanning device 5, it can be controlled to move to the corresponding sorting device 6. The corresponding sorting device 6 will only be activated when it moves to the corresponding sorting device 6, thereby avoiding confusion in the order of the material trays.

[0042] After the material trays pass through the second scanning device 5, their order must not be disordered. Since the conveyor line 1 is relatively long, to prevent the material trays from falling off during movement, they should ideally be positioned in the middle of the conveyor line 1. Therefore, a sorting mechanism 7 is installed on the conveyor line 1. The sorting mechanism 7 includes a sorting cylinder 71 and a sorting block 72, with the sorting block 72 mounted on the telescopic end of the sorting cylinder 71.

[0043] Feeding mechanisms are provided on both sides of conveyor line 1, and sorting mechanisms 7 are provided on both sides of conveyor line 1. The sorting mechanisms 7 on both sides are staggered to better sort the material trays.

[0044] The feeding device 2, the first scanning device 3, the labeling device 4, and the second scanning device 5 are located on the first conveyor line 11, and the sorting device 6 is located on the second conveyor line 12. The width of the second conveyor line 12 is slightly narrower than that of the first conveyor line 11. Therefore, in order to ensure that the material tray can smoothly reach the middle of the second conveyor line 12, guide blocks 9 are provided on both sides of the end of the first conveyor line 11 near the second conveyor line 12. The width of the two guide blocks 9 on the side near the sorting mechanism 7 is greater than the width of the guide blocks 9 on the side near the second conveyor line 12.

[0045] After the material trays are sorted by the sorting mechanism 7, the guide blocks 9 on both sides perform a second sorting. A grating counting mechanism 8 is installed on the side of the second transmission line 12 closest to the first transmission line 11. The grating counting mechanism 8 counts and tallies each type of material in each sorting device 6. A display screen is installed at the grating counting mechanism 8, showing the quantity of each type of material collected at each sorting device 6 corresponding to each type of PCB board.

[0046] Several sorting devices 6 are installed on the conveyor line 1. The sorting devices 6 are used to sort materials to the corresponding positions. Each sorting device 6 has a sorting basket 64 at the corresponding position. The materials in each sorting basket 64 are the materials required for the production of the corresponding production line.

[0047] like Figure 5As shown, the sorting device 6 includes a rotating mechanism 62, a first lifting mechanism 61, and a sorting plate 63. The first lifting mechanism 61 controls the lifting and lowering of the sorting plate 63, and the rotating mechanism 62 controls the rotation of the sorting plate 63. To better place the material tray into the material frame, the sorting plate 63 is designed as an arc-shaped plate. The first lifting mechanism 61 is a cylinder that controls the descent of the sorting plate 63. The rotating mechanism 62 uses a rotary motor, and the output end of the rotary motor is connected to a mounting plate 65. The first lifting mechanism 61 is mounted on the mounting plate 65. The rotation of the motor drives the first lifting mechanism 61, the mounting plate 65, and the sorting plate 63 to rotate together.

[0048] After the material tray passes through the grating counting mechanism 8, the second transmission line 12 controls the transmission speed. When the material tray is transmitted to the corresponding sorting device 6, the first lifting mechanism 61 of the corresponding sorting device 6 descends, and then the corresponding rotating mechanism 62 rotates, driving the sorting plate 63 to rotate around the rotating mechanism 62, thereby the sorting plate 63 rotates the material tray into the corresponding sorting basket 64. After sorting is completed, the first lifting mechanism 61 drives the sorting plate 63 to rise.

[0049] Each sorting device 6 is numbered 1, 2, 3, etc., according to the transmission direction of the second transmission line 12. For example, when the material tray is labeled as 4, after the 4th material tray moves on the second transmission line 12, the first lifting mechanism 61 corresponding to sorting devices 6 1, 2, and 3 does not operate, and the sorting plates 63 of sorting devices 1, 2, and 3 are separated from the second transmission line 12. The material tray can pass smoothly through the sorting devices 6 1, 2, and 3. When the 4th material tray reaches the corresponding 4th sorting device 6, the first lifting mechanism 61 of the 4th sorting device 6 descends, and the rotating mechanism 62 of the 4th sorting device 6 drives the first lifting mechanism 61. The sorting plate 63 rotates around the rotating mechanism 62 as the center, and the sorting plate 63 rotates 90°, rotating the material into the 4th sorting basket 64. A sorting basket 64 is also installed at the end of the second transmission line 12. When a material tray is no longer needed for the currently produced PCB boards, it is recycled through the sorting basket 64 at the end.

[0050] The material sorting system provided in this application can improve efficiency in sorting various materials from different production lines. Materials can be mixed and placed on the rack 23 without manual sorting. If some materials are not used after the corresponding production line is completed, they can be stored without sorting, saving storage space.

[0051] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in this utility model should still be covered by the claims of this utility model.
