[0065] In order to make the above-mentioned purpose, characteristics and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

[0066] The embodiments of the utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the utility model, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in all drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

[0067] In addition, although the terms used in the utility model are selected from the commonly known and used terms, some terms mentioned in the utility model specification can be selected by the applicant according to his or her judgment, and the detailed meanings thereof are described in the relevant parts of the description herein.

[0068] In addition, the utility model is required to be understood not only through the actual terms used, but also through the meaning implied by each term.

[0069] As Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the utility model discloses a kind of detection conveyor with bulk material shunting function, and this embodiment takes metal detection conveyor as an example, it includes rack 10, metal detection head 20, electric control box 30, conveying belt 40, driven shaft 50, driving shaft 60, at least one fixed support 70 and at least one first shunting device 80.For example, the detection conveyor described in the embodiment includes a plurality of fixed supports 70 arranged at intervals along the conveying direction, or a plurality of first shunting devices 80 are arranged on each fixed support 70.

[0070] Driven shaft 30 is installed at the first end of the upper part of rack 10, driving shaft 40 is installed at the second end of the upper part of rack 10, conveying belt 40 is installed on the upper end surface of rack 10, and is transmitted by driven shaft 50 and driving shaft 60.

[0071] Electric control box 30 is installed on the rack 10, and controls the start, stop and action of the flap ejector 90 of the metal detection conveyor.In addition, a motor 100 is arranged at the lower part of the rack 10, which drives the operation of the driving shaft 60, thereby driving the movement of the conveying belt 40 and the driven shaft 50.

[0072] The metal detector head 20 is installed on the frame 10, spanning above the conveying belt 40. The metal detector head 20 is used to detect whether the passing product contains metal foreign matter. The frame 10 is also provided with a pneumatic component 200 and a flap ejector 90. The flap ejector 90 is installed at one end of the frame 10, at the output end of the metal detection conveyor, and the flap ejector 90 is located below the driving shaft 40. When a defective product appears, the metal detector head 20 sends a signal to the electric control box 30, controls the air circuit of the pneumatic component 200, thereby controlling the action of the flap ejector 90, and the defective product can be ejected.

[0073] The fixed support 70 can be installed at the input end of the metal detection conveyor (i.e. near the second end of the conveying belt 40), or the fixed support 70 can be installed at the output end of the metal detection conveyor (i.e. near the first end of the conveying belt 40). Of course, in the present embodiment, the fixed support 70 can also be installed at the input end of the metal detection conveyor (i.e. near the second end of the conveying belt 40) and the output end of the metal detection conveyor (i.e. near the first end of the conveying belt 40). The fixed support 70 spans above the conveying belt 40 and is fixed to the two sides of the frame 10.

[0074] In the metal detection conveyor, the two sides of the frame 10 can also be provided with guide rails 300, which are respectively fixed to the two sides of the frame 10 through guide rail supports 310. The arrangement of the guide rails 300 can prevent bulk products from falling out of the two sides of the frame 10.

[0075] At least one first shunt device 80 is installed on each fixed support 70, which can be used for the shunting of bulk products. The first shunt device 80 is located between the fixed support 70 and the conveying belt 40, and is used for the shunting of bulk products. For example, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The fixed support 70 at the input end of the metal detection conveyor is provided with one first shunt device 80, which is used for the first stage shunting of bulk products. The fixed support 70 at the output end of the metal detection conveyor is provided with two first shunt devices 80, which are used for the second stage shunting of bulk products. Of course, the number of first shunt devices 80 is not limited here, and this is only an example, which can be increased or decreased according to actual conditions, and will not be described in detail here.

[0076] As shown in Figure 4 The fixed support 70 is preferably in the shape of a "U", and the two ends are respectively fixed to the clamping block 71 through fasteners. The clamping block 71 is preferably in the shape of a "U" and is clamped on the square tube of the frame 10, wherein the position of the clamping block 71 along the conveying direction can be adjusted according to production conditions.

[0077] As shown in Figures 5 to 8As shown, each first shunting device 80 comprises a mounting bracket (for example, in this embodiment, the mounting bracket comprises a mounting plate 81 and a vertical plate 82, which are merely examples) and at least two shunting plates 83, the vertical plate 82 is vertically mounted on one side end surface of the mounting plate 81, and the shunting plates 83 are respectively mounted on both sides of the vertical plate 82, and the mounting plate 81 is fixed on the fixed bracket 70 by a fixing member. Here, the mounting plate 81, the welding nuts 84, the vertical plate 82 and the shunting plates 83 are integrally formed by welding.

[0078] The mounting plate 81 is in the shape of a "U", three welding nuts 84 are arranged on one vertical end surface of the mounting plate 81, and the welding nuts 84 are arranged in parallel. At the same time, the vertical plate 82 is arranged on the opposite side of the welding nuts 84 and is perpendicular to the vertical end surface. The shunting plates 83 are respectively fixed on both sides of the vertical plate 82.

[0079] Preferably, the shunting plates 83 can be made of a material with elasticity, such as metal (for example, stainless steel, aluminum alloy) with elasticity, or other materials (for example, plastic) with elasticity, etc. Preferably, the shunting plates 83 are made of bent stainless steel sheet, and the outer surfaces of the shunting plates 83 on both sides of the vertical plate 82 form an included angle α, and the value of the included angle α is preferably in the range of 5° to 25°.

[0080] When the shunting plates 83 with elasticity encounter bulk products, the shunting plates 83 will be bounced away by a certain distance, so that the motion trajectory of the bulk products changes. The value of the included angle α should not be too small or too large. If the included angle α is too small, the shunting plates 83 cannot bounce the products. If the included angle α is too large, the products will be unevenly distributed.

[0081] When the first shunting device 80 is installed with the fixed bracket 70, the fixed bracket 70 is placed in the U-shaped cavity of the mounting plate 81. When the bulk products conveyed by the first conveying machine have a large amount of passing capacity on one side, the first shunting device 80 can be adjusted in the direction perpendicular to the conveying belt 40 according to the situation, and the fastening member 72 is screwed to the welding nut 84 of the mounting plate 81, and the tail of the fastening member 72 is on the end surface of the fixed bracket 70, so as to achieve the fixing effect. In addition, the U-shaped cavity of the mounting plate 81 has a certain depth, which can be used for the up-down adjustment of the first shunting device 80, so as to prevent the first shunting device 80 from being scratched by the conveying belt 40.

[0082] The first shunting device 80 at the output end of the metal detection conveyor can be used for the second level shunting of the bulk product. The first shunting device 80 here can be adjusted in position along the conveying direction according to the production situation, and is also composed of a mounting plate 81, a vertical plate 82 and at least two shunting plates 83. The two ends of the fixed support 70 are fixed on the rack through clamping blocks 71 and fasteners respectively, and a plurality of shunting fixed plates are fixed on the fixed support 70 through fasteners 72. The position of the first shunting device 80 can be adjusted according to the passing amount of the bulk product passing through the metal detection head 20, so as to achieve the effect of uniform distribution of the bulk product on the conveying table.

[0083] Further, the second shunting device 400 is arranged on the turnover plate ejector 90 and can be used for the third level shunting of the bulk product. The second shunting device 400 includes a turnover plate 410 and at least one shunting fixed plate 420, the shunting fixed plate 420 is parallel to the conveying direction of the detection conveyor, or expands outward along the conveying direction, and the shunting fixed plate 420 is fixed on the turnover plate 410 through a third fastener. The turnover plate 410 is a welded integral structure and is installed on the turnover plate ejector 90 and is composed of a base plate 411, a rotating shaft 412 and a plurality of reinforcing ribs 413. The base plate 411 is provided with a hem 414 on both sides to prevent the bulk product from running out. The two side hems 414 are in the shape of an "eight" and can be used to connect the subsequent conveyor with a wider width, so as to facilitate the subsequent conveyor to increase the manual collection channel.

[0084] Preferably, the shunting fixed plate 420 is provided with a chamfer 421 at the front end, which can avoid the interference between the shunting fixed plate 420 and the conveyor during the turnover of the turnover plate 410. The upper end of the shunting fixed plate 420 is provided with a plurality of waist-shaped holes 422, and a plurality of oblong holes 415 are formed in the base plate 411. The waist-shaped holes 422 of the shunting fixed plate 420 cooperate with the oblong holes 415, so that the distance between the shunting fixed plate 420 and the conveyor can be adjusted.

[0085] The base plate 411 is provided with a plurality of oblong holes. When the bulk product passing through the first shunting device 80 at the output end of the metal detection conveyor again has uneven distribution of the bulk product, the positions of the two side shunting fixed plates 420 can be adjusted to ensure that the uneven distribution rate of the bulk product in the guide channel of the subsequent conveyor is less than 10%.

[0086] According to the above structure description, the detection conveyor with the bulk shunting function of the utility model is suitable for a variety of application scenarios, for example: metal foreign matter detection machine shunting of zongzi.

[0087] The shape of the zongzi product is irregular, and when the passing amount is large, the zongzi product is irregularly transmitted to the metal detection conveyor, and the qualified products are transmitted downward through the parallel distribution guide rails of the subsequent conveyor. After counting, manual collection is performed, but there is a large difference in the product counting in each channel, resulting in different workloads of manual collection in each channel, and problems of unsaturated work and reduced efficiency.

[0088] Of course, the above application is only an example, and the detection conveyor with the bulk material distribution function can also be applied to X-ray detection, visual detection, etc., which will not be described here, and all are within the protection scope of the present application.

[0089] In the technical scheme of the present application, the plurality of first distribution devices and the second distribution device are arranged on the metal detection conveyor, and the passing amount of the products in the guide rail channels of the subsequent conveyor can be adjusted at multiple levels according to the passing amount of the production line, so that the passing amount of the qualified products in each guide rail channel of the subsequent conveyor is basically the same, so as to avoid large differences in manual collection work in some channels.

[0090] The detection conveyor with the bulk material distribution function has the following characteristics:

[0091] I. Three-stage distribution devices are arranged on the traditional metal detection conveyor;

[0092] II. Combined with bulk material removal application, a distribution plate is installed by using a flap;

[0093] III. The distribution plate is made of thin stainless steel or other materials and has a certain elasticity.

[0094] In summary, the detection conveyor with the bulk material distribution function has the following advantages:

[0095] I. Multiple distribution devices can be arranged on the metal detection conveyor, thereby solving the problem of uneven distribution of bulk materials in the guide channels and collection channels of the subsequent conveyor.

[0096] II. The eight-shaped bent edge of the flap can connect a wider subsequent conveyor, and facilitate the subsequent conveyor to increase more guide and collection channels to improve production efficiency.

[0097] III. The distribution fixed plate is added by using the traditional flap, and the structure is compact and convenient for adjusting the passing amount of bulk material products.
