[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0025] In this technical solution, a material guiding device for a color sorter includes a conveying frame 1 and a guide frame 2. The guide frame 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the conveying frame 1. The lower ends of the conveying frame 1 and the guide frame 2 are provided with two support legs 3. A vibration motor 4 is installed on the lower wall of the guide frame 2. The upper end of the guide frame 2 is provided with an opening and closing connection structure, which includes two hinges 5, a mounting plate 6, two fixing blocks 7, a plug block 8, and a pin 9.
[0026] One end of each of the two hinges 5 is installed on one side wall of the guide frame 2. One end of the mounting plate 6 is connected to the other end of the two hinges 5. The two fixing blocks 7 are installed on the other side wall of the guide frame 2. The plug block 8 is fixedly installed on the other side of the mounting plate 6. The pin 9 is movably embedded in the two fixing blocks 7 and the plug block 8.
[0027] In this technical solution, when performing color sorting on materials, the operator first fixes the device in a designated position using the support leg 3. Then, the vibration motor 4 at the lower end of the guide frame 2 is powered on. The material to be sorted is then placed in the conveying frame 1. Through the tilt angle between the conveying frame 1 and the guide frame 2, and the high-frequency vibration generated by the vibration motor 4, the material is discharged through one side of the guide frame 2. This works in conjunction with the color sorting equipment to perform color sorting on the material. When performing color sorting on materials of different specifications, the discharge width between the guide limit structure and the guide frame 2 can be changed by operating the limit adjustment structure to guide and limit the material. This effectively avoids the stacking of materials during the color sorting process and ensures the overall color sorting effect. After the color sorting is completed, the pin 9 can be removed from the fixing block 7 and the plug block 8. With the connection of the two hinges 5, the mounting plate 6 can be unfolded at the upper end of the guide frame 2 to facilitate cleaning of the guide frame 2 and prevent material residue.
[0028] In some technical solutions, reference Figure 1 An operation hole 10 is provided on one side of the upper end of the mounting plate 6. A guide limit structure is installed in the operation hole 10. The guide limit structure includes a mounting shaft 11, a baffle plate 12, a fixed upright plate 13, and a spring 14.
[0029] The two ends of the mounting shaft 11 are respectively movably installed on both sides of the operating hole 10. One end of the baffle plate 12 is fixedly connected to the mounting shaft 11. The fixed plate 13 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the baffle plate 12. One end of the spring 14 is connected to one side of the fixed plate 13.
[0030] In this technical solution, when guiding and conveying materials, the baffle plate 12 on one side of the mounting shaft 11 limits the material, and the fixed upright plate 13 and spring 14 can provide buffer support for the baffle plate 12 to avoid material blockage due to differences in material specifications.
[0031] In some technical solutions, reference Figure 1 The upper end of the mounting plate 6 is provided with a limit adjustment structure, which includes two guide rods 15, a lead screw 16, a moving block 17 and a moving upright plate 18.
[0032] Two guide rods 15 are respectively installed on both sides of the upper end of the mounting plate 6. The lead screw 16 is installed on the upper end of the mounting plate 6 through the bearing plate. The moving block 17 is movably fitted on the upper ends of the two guide rods 15 and the lead screw 16. The moving upright plate 18 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the moving block 17 and is fixedly connected to the other end of the spring 14.
[0033] In this technical solution, when facing the guiding and conveying of materials of different specifications, the position of the moving block 17 at the upper end of the guide rod 15 and the upper end of the screw 16 is changed by turning the screw 16 at the upper end of the mounting plate 6, thereby adjusting the position of the moving upright plate 18. Under the connection action of the spring 14, the force intensity of the baffle plate 12 is adjusted, thus satisfying the guiding and conveying of materials of different specifications.
[0034] In some technical solutions, reference Figure 1 The movable block 17 is connected to the lead screw 16 with an internal thread. The conveying frame 1 is U-shaped, the guide frame 2 is U-shaped, and the lead screw 16 is equipped with an operating nut 19 at one end.
[0035] Working principle:
[0036] When performing color sorting on materials, the operator first secures the device to the designated position using the support leg 3. Then, the vibration motor 4 at the lower end of the guide frame 2 is powered on. The material to be sorted is then placed inside the conveyor frame 1. The tilt angle between the conveyor frame 1 and the guide frame 2, along with the high-frequency vibration generated by the vibration motor 4, causes the material to be discharged through one side of the guide frame 2. This works in conjunction with the color sorting equipment to perform the color sorting operation. The baffle plate 12 on one side of the mounting shaft 11 limits the material's movement, and the fixed upright plate 13 and spring 14 provide cushioning support for the baffle plate 12, preventing... Material blockage can occur due to differences in material specifications. When guiding and conveying materials of different specifications, the position of the moving block 17 at the upper end of the guide rod 15 and the upper end of the lead screw 16 at the upper end of the mounting plate 6 can be changed by turning the lead screw 16 at the upper end of the mounting plate 6. This adjusts the position of the moving vertical plate 18. Under the connection of the spring 14, the force on the baffle plate 12 can be adjusted to meet the guiding and conveying requirements of materials of different specifications. After color sorting is completed, the pin 9 can be removed from the fixing block 7 and the plug block 8. Under the connection of the two hinges 5, the mounting plate 6 can be unfolded at the upper end of the guide frame 2 to facilitate cleaning of the guide frame 2 and avoid material residue.
