TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of material sorting, in particular to a warehouse-dividing and material-dividing mechanism and a sorting system. BACKGROUND
[0002] Plastic bottles can be divided into 5A white bottles, 3A blue bottles, 3A green bottles and the like. In the plastic bottle recycling process, classification treatment needs to be performed. However, most of the existing sorting machines can only perform two-class classification. In order to realize the recycling of multiple plastics, multiple sorting machines need to be used for one-level-by-one-level classification. One storage warehouse needs to be equipped with one transportation system, so that the land occupation of the entire sorting system is large. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL
[0003] The application aims to provide a warehouse-dividing and material-dividing mechanism and a sorting system, so as to shorten the production line layout space.
[0004] In a first aspect, the application provides a warehouse-dividing and material-dividing mechanism, which adopts the following technical scheme:
[0005] The warehouse-dividing and material-dividing mechanism comprises a conveying channel, a support fixedly connected to the conveying channel, a baffle installed on the support, and a power source for driving the baffle to move up and down. One side of the conveying channel is provided with a plurality of discharge ports. The baffle is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. The baffle is inclined to the side of the conveying channel.
[0006] Through the above technical scheme, when the material needs to be divided, the power source drives the baffle to move up and down. Since the baffle is inclined to the side of the conveying channel, the flow cross section and flow direction of the material in the channel are changed during the movement. The material flows to different discharge ports according to the position of the baffle under the conveying power and the blocking and guiding action of the baffle, so as to realize the warehouse-dividing and material-dividing of the material to different subsequent processing areas or storage warehouses.
[0007] Optionally, the conveying channel is provided with a plurality of guide plates fixedly connected to one side of the discharge port. The guide plates are inclined to the side of the conveying channel. The guide plates are arranged at the upstream end close to the discharge port.
[0008] Through the above technical scheme, when the material flows in the conveying channel, since the guide plates are inclined, the material changes its original flow direction along the inclined surface of the guide plates after contacting the guide plates. On the one hand, the material is prevented from entering the non-corresponding discharge port. On the other hand, the material is more orderly gathered in the direction close to the discharge port by using the inertia of the material itself and the friction between the material and the guide plates and other factors, so as to reduce the dispersion and disordered flow of the material near the discharge port, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of the discharge.
[0009] Optionally, the angle a between the guide plate and the side of the conveying channel is greater than or equal to 10° and less than or equal to 30°.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the angle cannot be too small. When a is equal to 10°, it is the minimum critical angle that ensures that the guide plate can generate sufficient guiding effect on the material. If the angle is less than 10°, when the material contacts the guide plate, the material will have a weak tendency to change the flow direction along the guide plate, and it will be difficult to effectively guide the material to the center direction. The angle cannot be too large. Once a exceeds 30°, the tendency of the material to change the flow direction along the guide plate will become very strong, causing the material to impact the other side of the conveying channel.
[0011] Optionally, the angle b between the guide plate and the baffle is less than or equal to 80° and greater than or equal to 60°.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, if the angle b is less than 60°, it means that the included angle between the guide plate and the baffle is too small, and it is difficult to be further guided by the baffle to the corresponding discharge port as expected. This will cause the material flow to deviate and not accurately enter the designated discharge port, greatly reducing the material distribution accuracy and failing to meet the requirements of accurately controlling the material flow and distribution.
[0013] Optionally, the bracket is fixedly connected with a plurality of guide rods, and the baffle is fixedly connected with a connecting piece on one side, the connecting piece is provided with a plurality of rollers, and the rollers abut against the guide rods.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rods can limit the baffle in other degrees of freedom except the up-down movement direction, ensuring that the baffle only moves stably and accurately along the predetermined vertical direction under the drive of the power source, avoiding situations that affect the material distribution accuracy such as left-right shaking and front-back deviation. The rollers abut against the guide rods and roll along the guide rods when the baffle moves under the drive of the power source. Compared with the traditional sliding friction mode, the friction of the rolling friction is extremely small. On the one hand, this can greatly reduce the resistance that needs to be overcome when the baffle moves, making the drive of the power source more relaxed and efficient, reducing the power loss and prolonging the service life of the power source. On the other hand, it can also further ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the baffle movement, because the smaller friction means fewer uncertain factors interfering with the movement trajectory of the baffle, which can more accurately position the required height position, thereby achieving more accurate control of the material flow.
[0015] Optionally, the connecting piece is provided with a notch, and a mounting rack is slidingly connected to the notch.
[0016] By adopting the above technical scheme, the notch facilitates transverse taking out of the mounting rack, and the mounting rack is fixed at the notch through bolts.
[0017] Optionally, the bottom end of the baffle is provided with a raised portion, the raised portion faces the direction in which the material is transported, and the raised portion is fixedly connected with a rubber strip.
[0018] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the baffle moves downward, the rubber strip can abut against the conveying channel, which can scrape off sundries in the conveying channel on one hand and make the conveying part of the conveying channel more stable on the other hand; the rubber strip has elasticity and flexibility, so that the baffle and the conveying channel have a buffer.
[0019] Optionally, the conveying channel is fixedly connected with a plurality of discharge slopes, the baffle extends into the discharge slope on one side, the discharge slope is provided with a notch on one side, and the baffle can be placed into the notch.
[0020] By adopting the above technical scheme, when the baffle is placed in the notch, it can control the flow of the material in the discharge slope to a certain extent and play a blocking role; the main function of the discharge slope is to facilitate unloading of the material from the conveying channel. Since the discharge slope has a certain slope, the material can smoothly slide along the discharge slope under the action of gravity.
[0021] Optionally, the conveying channel is fixedly connected with a bending piece on two sides, the bottom end of the guide plate is provided with a slope, and the slope is fixedly connected with a rubber strip and the bending piece.
[0022] By adopting the above technical scheme, the rubber strip is fixed on the bending piece and the slope, which can make the conveying part of the conveying channel more stable on one hand and seal the edge position of the conveying channel on the other hand.
[0023] In a second aspect, the application provides a sorting system, which adopts the following technical scheme:
[0024] A sorting system comprises a warehouse-allocating and material-allocating mechanism, a feeding channel, a plurality of sorting devices, a plurality of storage warehouses, and a plurality of conveying belts, the plurality of sorting devices are connected in series, the feeding channel is connected with the first sorting device, one output port of the sorting devices is connected with the conveying belt, the conveying belt is connected with the warehouse-allocating and material-allocating mechanism, and the warehouse-allocating and material-allocating mechanism is connected with the storage warehouse.
[0025] By adopting the technical scheme, the material first enters the first sorting device through the feeding channel. In this process, the feeding channel ensures that the material enters the sorting process in an orderly manner at a suitable speed and flow rate; after the material enters the first sorting device, the sorting device sorts the material according to the set sorting standard, and outputs the material meeting specific conditions from the corresponding output port to the next sorting device or the conveying belt; then, the material sequentially passes through each sorting device in series, and is further subdivided after passing through each sorting device, and the classification of the material is more accurate after multiple rounds of sorting; after being sorted by the sorting device, the material output from the corresponding output port to the conveying belt is stably conveyed to the binning and material distributing mechanism under the action of the conveying belt; after receiving the material conveyed by the conveying belt, the binning and material distributing mechanism accurately distributes the material to each corresponding storage bin.
[0026] In summary, the present application has at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:
[0027] 1. By driving the inclined baffle to move up and down by the power source, the conveying power of the material and the blocking and guiding effect of the baffle are ingeniously utilized, so that the material can be accurately distributed to different discharge ports, greatly improving the accuracy and efficiency of material distribution, reducing the misdistribution and mixing of materials, and being suitable for production and logistics fields with high requirements for material distribution accuracy.
[0028] 2. The cooperation of the guide rod on the support and the roller on the baffle connecting piece not only limits the degrees of freedom of the baffle, ensures the stable movement of the baffle in the vertical direction, avoids the problem of inaccurate material distribution caused by shaking or deviation of the baffle, but also reduces the resistance of the baffle movement through the rolling friction of the roller, improves the driving efficiency of the power source, reduces power loss and equipment wear and tear, prolongs the service life of the equipment, and further improves the positioning accuracy of the baffle, thereby achieving more accurate control of the material flow direction.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0036] The following will be combined with the Figure 1 -Appendix Figure 6 The present application is further described in detail.
[0037] Embodiments of the present application disclose a kind of warehouse material distribution mechanism.
[0038] Embodiments 1, refer to Figure 1 A kind of warehouse material distribution mechanism, including conveying channel 1, fixedly connected with the support 5 of conveying channel 1, baffle 3 installed on support 5 and the power source 6 of driving baffle 3 up and down, conveying channel 1 in embodiment 1 is taken as an example with conveyor belt, conveying channel 1 side is equipped with a plurality of discharge ports 4, baffle 3 is arranged at discharge port 4, baffle 3 is perpendicular to horizontal plane, baffle 3 is inclined to the side of conveying channel 1.When material needs to enter certain discharge port 4, the baffle 3 of corresponding outlet is driven to move downward under the power source 6.Due to the fact that baffle 3 is inclined to the side of conveying channel 1, the flow cross section and flow direction of material in the channel are changed during the movement process.Material flows to different discharge ports 4 according to the position of baffle 3 under the action of conveying power and baffle 3 blocking and guiding, so as to realize the material distribution to different subsequent processing areas or storage warehouses.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 Conveying channel 1 is fixedly connected with a plurality of guide plates 2 on the side of discharge port 4, guide plate 2 is inclined to the side of conveying channel 1, guide plate 2 is arranged at the upstream end close to discharge port 4.When material flows in conveying channel 1, due to the fact that guide plate 2 is inclinedly arranged, material will change its original flow direction along the inclined surface of guide plate 2 after contacting guide plate 2;On the one hand, prevent material from entering the corresponding discharge port 4;On the other hand, utilize the inertia of material itself and the friction between material and guide plate 2 and other factors, so that material more orderly converges in the direction close to discharge port 4, reduces the dispersion and disorderly flow of material near discharge port 4, improves the precision and efficiency of discharging.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 2The angle a between the guide plate 2 and the side of the conveying channel 1 is greater than or equal to 10° and less than or equal to 30°. The angle cannot be too small. When a is equal to 10°, it is the minimum critical angle that ensures that the guide plate 2 can generate sufficient guiding effect on the material. If the angle is less than 10°, when the material contacts the guide plate 2, the material will have a weak tendency to change the flow direction along the guide plate 2, and it will be difficult to effectively guide the material to the center direction. The angle cannot be too large. Once a exceeds 30°, the material will have a strong tendency to change the flow direction along the guide plate 2, so that the material will impact the other side of the conveying channel 1.
[0041] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The angle b between the guide plate 2 and the baffle 3 is less than or equal to 80° and greater than or equal to 60°. If the angle b is less than 60°, it means that the included angle between the guide plate 2 and the baffle 3 is too small, and it is difficult to be further guided by the baffle 3 to the corresponding discharge port 4 as expected. This will cause the material flow to deviate and not accurately enter the designated discharge port 4, which will greatly reduce the material distribution accuracy and cannot meet the requirements of accurate control of material flow and distribution in different warehouses.
[0042] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4The support 5 is fixedly connected with two guide rods 51, and the baffle 3 is fixedly connected with two position-symmetric connecting pieces 33 on one side. In the embodiment 1, the connecting piece 33 is a metal shell, and the metal shell is installed on one side of the baffle 3 through bolts. Three rollers 31 are arranged in each connecting piece 33, and the three rollers 31 are alternately arranged. The three rollers 31 are all in abutment with the guide rods 51. The guide rods 51 can limit the baffle 3 in the degrees of freedom other than the up-down movement direction, so as to ensure that the baffle 3 is stably and accurately displaced along the predetermined vertical direction under the driving of the power source 6, and avoid the situations such as left-right shaking and front-back deviation that affect the material distribution accuracy. The rollers 31 are in abutment with the guide rods 51, and when the baffle 3 is moved under the driving of the power source 6, the rollers 31 can roll along the guide rods 51. Compared with the traditional sliding friction mode, the friction of the rolling friction is extremely small. In this way, on the one hand, the resistance that needs to be overcome when the baffle 3 moves can be greatly reduced, so that the driving of the power source 6 is more relaxed and efficient, the power loss is reduced, and the service life of the power source 6 is prolonged. On the other hand, the smoothness and accuracy of the movement of the baffle 3 can also be further ensured, because the smaller friction means that there are fewer uncertain factors to interfere with the motion trail of the baffle 3, and the baffle 3 can be more accurately positioned at the required height position, so as to realize more accurate control of the material flow direction.
[0043] Reference Figure 1 The connecting piece 33 is provided with a notch 35, the notch 35 is slidingly connected with a mounting bracket 34, the mounting bracket 34 is installed with a roller 31, and the notch 35 facilitates the transverse taking out of the mounting bracket 34. The mounting bracket 34 is fixed at the notch 35 through bolts.
[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The baffle 3 is provided with a kick-up 32 at the bottom end, the kick-up 32 faces the direction in which the material is transported, and the kick-up 32 is fixedly connected with a rubber strip 7. In the embodiment 1, the kick-up 32 is an acute angle formed by bending a metal plate, and the two sides are welded by a metal plate. Finally, the whole is fixed at the bottom end of the baffle 3 by welding. The kick-up 32 is fixedly connected with the rubber strip 7 through bolts. The baffle 3 is not in contact with the transportation part of the conveying channel 1, but in contact through the rubber strip 7, so as to prevent the baffle 3 from scratching the transportation part of the conveying channel 1. The rubber strip 7 can not only block the gap between the baffle 3 and the conveying channel 1, but also press the transportation part of the conveying channel 1.
[0045] Reference Figure 1The conveying channel 1 is fixedly connected with several unloading ramps 41. A baffle 3 extends into one side of the unloading ramp 41, and a recess 411 is provided on one side of the unloading ramp 41, allowing the baffle 3 to be placed within the recess 411. The number of unloading ramps 41 depends on the length of the conveying channel 1 and the required unloading frequency; generally, one is installed every 2 to 5 meters. The unloading ramp 41 is made of metal plate bent at 90° on both sides, and is fixedly connected to the main body of the conveying channel 1 through a continuous welding process. When the baffle 3 is placed within the recess 411, it can control the flow of material within the unloading ramp 41 to a certain extent, acting as a barrier. The main function of the unloading ramp 41 is to facilitate the unloading of material from the conveying channel 1. Due to its slope, the material can smoothly slide down the unloading ramp 41 under the action of gravity.
[0046] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The conveying channel 1 has bending components 11 fixedly connected to both sides, and the bottom of the guide plate 2 is provided with an inclined platform 21. The inclined platform 21 and the bending component 11 are fixedly connected with a rubber strip 7. In embodiment 1, the bending component 11 is a metal plate bent at 135°, and the inclined platform 21 is a metal plate bent at an acute angle. The two bent surfaces are connected by a plate rib. The bending component 11 and the inclined platform 21 are fixed to the corresponding main body by bolts. The bending plate and the inclined platform 21 are bolted to a clamping plate 12. The rubber strip 7 is placed between the clamping plate 12 and the bending plate, and between the clamping plate 12 and the inclined platform 21. The rubber strip 7 is fixed by clamping the two.
[0047] Example 2: A sorting system includes a warehousing and material distribution mechanism, a feeding channel, several sorting devices, several storage bins, and several conveyor belts. The sorting devices are connected in series. The feeding channel is connected to the first sorting device. One output port of the sorting device is connected to the conveyor belts. The conveyor belts are connected to the warehousing and material distribution mechanism, which is connected to the storage bins. Materials first enter the first sorting device through the feeding channel. In this process, the feeding channel ensures that materials enter the sorting process in an orderly manner at an appropriate speed and flow rate. After the materials enter the first sorting equipment, the sorting equipment sorts the materials according to the set sorting standards, and outputs the materials that meet the specific conditions from the corresponding output port to the next sorting equipment or conveyor belt. Then, the materials pass through the sorting equipment in series. Each time the materials pass through a sorting equipment, they are further subdivided. After multiple rounds of sorting, the classification of materials becomes more accurate. The materials that are output from the corresponding output port to the conveyor belt after being sorted by the sorting equipment are stably transported to the warehousing and distribution mechanism under the action of the conveyor belt.
