[0025] Example
[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides an automated material sorting device, including:
[0027] The support assembly 100 includes a bracket 101, a main roller 102 rotatably mounted on the upper side wall of the bracket 101, a crossbeam 103 fixedly connected to the middle of the bracket 101, a sliding member 104 slidably mounted on the side wall of the crossbeam 103, and a secondary roller 105 rotatably mounted on the side wall of the sliding member 104.
[0028] The material distribution assembly 200 includes a connector 201 slidably mounted on the bottom side wall of the crossbeam 103, a guide plate 202 mounted on the side wall of the connector 201, and a conveyor belt 203 adapted to be mounted at the middle position of the lower end of the bracket 101. The lower end of the guide plate 202 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveyor belt 203.
[0029] The bracket 101 provides a mounting platform for other components. The main roller 102 is rotatably mounted on the upper side wall of the bracket 101, and its rotation drives the material to move on its surface, providing power for material conveying. A crossbeam 103 is fixedly connected in the middle of the bracket 101, serving to connect and support other components. The crossbeam 103 provides sliding tracks for the sliding member 104 and the connecting member 201, ensuring they can move along a specified path. The sliding member 104 is slidably mounted on the side wall of the crossbeam 103 and can slide freely along it. The sliding member 104 supports the auxiliary roller 105 and adjusts its position through its sliding to adapt to different material conveying needs. The auxiliary roller 105 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the sliding member 104 and works in conjunction with the main roller 102. The rotation of the auxiliary roller 105 assists the main roller 102 in material conveying and can also be adjusted according to the position of the sliding member 104 to change the material conveying direction and path. The connector 201 is slidably mounted on the bottom side wall of the crossbeam 103 and can slide along the crossbeam 103. The connector 201 connects to the guide plate 202 and adjusts the position of the guide plate 202 through its sliding motion to meet different material distribution requirements. The guide plate 202 is mounted on the side wall of the connector 201, and its lower end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the conveyor belt 203. The inclined arrangement of the guide plate 202 guides material from the conveying paths of the main roller 102 and the auxiliary roller 105 onto the conveyor belt 203, achieving the material sorting function. The conveyor belt 203 is adapted and mounted at the lower middle position of the bracket 101 to receive the material guided from the guide plate 202 and transport it to the designated location.
[0030] Specifically, the material distribution assembly 200 also includes a connecting rod 204 hinged to the bottom of the crossbeam 103, and a buffer plate 205 fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod 204. The buffer plate 205 is inclined to the guide plate 202, and the end of the buffer plate 205 extends to the side wall of the guide plate 202.
[0031] The connecting rod 204 is hinged to the bottom of the crossbeam 103. Its function is to connect the buffer plate 205 and the guide plate 202, allowing the buffer plate 205 to move accordingly as the position of the guide plate 202 is adjusted. The buffer plate 205 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting rod 204, inclined to the guide plate 202, and its end extends to the side wall of the guide plate 202. The function of the buffer plate 205 is to buffer the material during the process of conveying it from the main roller shaft 102 and the auxiliary roller shaft 105 to the guide plate 202, reducing the impact force of the material and protecting the material and device components.
[0032] Furthermore, the material distribution assembly 200 also includes a sleeve 206 sleeved on the end of the connecting rod 204, with the end of the sleeve 206 fixedly connected to the side wall of the guide plate 202.
[0033] The sleeve 206 is fitted onto the end of the connecting rod 204, and the end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the guide plate 202. The function of the sleeve 206 is to enhance the connection stability between the connecting rod 204 and the guide plate 202, and to ensure that the buffer plate 205 can accurately perform its buffering function.
[0034] Furthermore, the material distribution assembly 200 also includes a positioning post 207 threadedly connected to the bottom side wall of the connector 201, with the end of the positioning post 207 inserted into the inner side of the bottom through hole of the crossbeam 103.
[0035] The positioning post 207 is threaded to the bottom side wall of the connector 201, and its end is inserted into the inner side of the bottom through hole of the crossbeam 103. The function of the positioning post 207 is to fix the position of the connector 201, prevent it from sliding during operation, and ensure the stability of the guide plate 202.
[0036] Preferably, the support assembly 100 also includes a secondary sprocket 106 fixedly mounted at the end of the secondary roller shaft 105. The secondary sprocket 106 is connected by chain drive and is located below the main roller shaft 102.
[0037] The secondary sprocket 106 is fixedly installed at the end of the secondary roller shaft 105, located below the main roller shaft 102. The secondary sprocket 106 is connected to other sprockets via a chain drive, transmitting power to the secondary roller shaft 105 to enable it to rotate.
[0038] It should be noted that the support assembly 100 also includes a main shaft 107 rotatably mounted on the side wall of the bracket 101, and a transmission sprocket 108 fixedly connected to the side wall of the main shaft 107. The transmission sprocket 108 is connected to the secondary sprocket 106 via a chain.
[0039] The main shaft 107 is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the bracket 101 and is one of the key components for power transmission. The rotation of the main shaft 107 transmits power to the secondary sprocket 106 via the transmission sprocket 108 and chain, thereby driving the secondary roller shaft 105 to rotate. The transmission sprocket 108 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the main shaft 107 and is connected to the secondary sprocket 106 via a chain. The function of the transmission sprocket 108 is to transmit the power of the main shaft 107 to the secondary sprocket 106, achieving efficient power transmission.
[0040] Preferably, the support assembly 100 further includes a motor 109 fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the bracket 101, and a main sprocket 110 adapted to be installed at the output end of the motor 109. The main sprocket 110 is connected to the transmission sprocket 108 via a chain.
[0041] The motor 109 is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the bracket 101, serving as the power source for the entire device. The power output from the motor 109 is transmitted to the transmission sprocket 108 through the main sprocket 110 and the chain, thereby driving the main shaft 107, the secondary sprocket 106, and the secondary roller shaft 105 to rotate.
[0042] In operation, after the motor 109 starts, the main sprocket 110 at its output end begins to rotate. The main sprocket 110 transmits power to the transmission sprocket 108 via a chain, driving the main shaft 107 to rotate. The rotation of the main shaft 107 transmits power to the auxiliary sprocket 106 via the transmission sprocket 108 and chain, thereby driving the auxiliary roller shaft 105 to rotate. At the same time, the main roller shaft 102 also rotates under the drive of the relevant transmission mechanism, providing power for material conveying (the figure shows a drive through the main shaft 107 in conjunction with bevel gears, but a sprocket drive or other drive system can also be used). When the main roller shaft 102 and the auxiliary roller shaft 105 rotate, the material placed on them is conveyed forward. The sliding member 104 can slide on the crossbeam 103 as needed to adjust the position of the auxiliary roller shaft 105, thereby changing the material conveying path and direction. When material sorting is required, the guide plate 202 is moved to a suitable position by adjusting the position of the connecting member 201 at the bottom of the crossbeam 103. During the conveying process, when materials encounter the guide plate 202, they slide down along the inclined direction of the guide plate 202 onto the conveyor belt 203, achieving material sorting. During the process of materials being conveyed from the main roller 102 and auxiliary roller 105 to the guide plate 202, the buffer plate 205 acts as a buffer, reducing the impact force of the materials. The positioning post 207 is used to fix the position of the connecting piece 201, ensuring the stability of the guide plate 202 during the sorting process.
[0043] In summary, the main roller 102 and auxiliary roller 105 can stably and efficiently transport materials through the motor-driven sprocket and chain transmission system. Simultaneously, the slidably adjustable guide plate 202 can flexibly adjust its position according to different sorting requirements, achieving fast and accurate material sorting and improving sorting efficiency. The sleeve 206 enhances the connection stability between the connecting rod 204 and the guide plate 202, and the positioning post 207 fixes the position of the connecting piece 201, further ensuring the structural stability of the device and reducing sorting errors caused by component swaying. The buffer plate 205 plays a buffering role during material sorting, reducing the impact force between the material and the guide plate 202, lowering the risk of material damage, and protecting the integrity of the material, making it suitable for sorting scenarios with high material quality requirements. The sliding member 104 can slide on the crossbeam 103 to adjust the position of the auxiliary roller 105; the connecting piece 201 can slide at the bottom of the crossbeam 103 to adjust the position of the guide plate 202. This flexible adjustability allows the device to adapt to the sorting needs of materials of different sizes and types, improving the device's versatility and applicability.
