Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material sorting technology, and in particular to a cycloidal device. Background Technology

[0002] In industries and logistics, automated material sorting is frequently used in production lines, conveyor lines, and warehouse management to achieve targeted transportation, precise sorting, and multi-station storage of materials.

[0003] Existing sorting technologies commonly use cylinders to push materials on a conveyor belt into corresponding bins, but this sorting method is too rudimentary and has many shortcomings:

[0004] The inability to flexibly adapt to the size and shape of materials leads to poor sorting results;

[0005] When materials are pushed by a cylinder, the cylinder must be completely retracted before the next sorting can be carried out safely, which is extremely unfavorable for a fast sorting environment and greatly affects efficiency.

[0006] To ensure safety, some sorting devices use adjustable conveyor belt speeds to slow down the process and prevent materials from colliding. However, this can put an extra load on the conveyor belt, which is not conducive to long-term development.

[0007] Therefore, an improved cycloidal device is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cycloidal device to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0010] This application discloses a cycloidal device, including a transport device for transporting materials, a receiving device for receiving and storing materials, and a swing device for guiding materials into the corresponding receiving device. The swing device includes a device frame, a swing member movably disposed above the transport device, a drive motor for moving the swing member, and a transmission mechanism for transmitting power to the swing member.

[0011] The material on the conveyor is moved by the swinging device. The output of the drive motor outputs power to the swinging component, thereby realizing the displacement of the swinging component, so that the material can be driven into the corresponding hopper. Through rapid swinging, the size and shape of the material can be changed, which increases the flexibility; and it can respond quickly to avoid affecting the subsequent materials.

[0012] Preferably, the transport device includes a conveyor belt connected to a transport power source, the output end of which is connected to the conveyor belt, and a plurality of materials are disposed on the conveyor belt.

[0013] The power source for transportation includes motor-driven transmission rollers, which can effectively drive the conveyor belt to move stably and evenly through several transmission rollers.

[0014] Preferably, the device frame of the swing device is located above the transport device, the device frame is provided with a swing base, the swing base is provided with a rotation center shaft, the rotation center shaft is connected to a swing member, the swing member is rotatably connected to the swing base, and a guide member is fixedly connected to the end of the swing member facing the transport device.

[0015] The oscillating component rotates on the oscillating base, which enables the sorting of materials and guides them to the corresponding hopper for storage. The connection method of the rotation center shaft includes rotatably connecting it to either the oscillating component or the oscillating base. The drive motor provides power support to the oscillating component through the transmission effect of the rotation center shaft.

[0016] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a first transmission gear on the swing member and a second transmission gear on the rotation center shaft. The first transmission gear meshes with the second transmission gear and is poweredly connected. The output end of the drive motor is poweredly connected to the first transmission gear and provides power to the transmission mechanism.

[0017] Through the transmission action of transmission gear one and transmission gear two, the power of the drive motor is stably and quickly transmitted to the oscillating component. Through the rotation of transmission gear one and the meshing of transmission gear one and transmission gear two, transmission gear one moves around transmission gear two, thereby driving the oscillating component to rotate around the rotation center axis.

[0018] Preferably, the swing device further includes a displacement mechanism that works in conjunction with the swing component to increase the range of motion. The swing base is slidably connected to the device frame, and the displacement mechanism is connected to the swing base and drives the swing base to move.

[0019] The displacement mechanism can drive the swing device to move laterally. When the swing amplitude is large, the displacement mechanism can be used to achieve lateral movement, which can further accelerate the speed of adjusting the direction of the swing component. When facing material approaching but the swing component does not have time to reset, it can quickly achieve adjustment.

[0020] Preferably, the displacement mechanism includes a moving motor mounted on the device frame, the output end of the moving motor being poweredly connected to a helical rod, and a helical fitting component mounted on the swing base. The helical fitting component has a helical hole that engages with and connects to the helical rod. The moving motor drives the swing base to move through the helical rod and the helical fitting component.

[0021] The motor is moved to output power to the screw rod, and the displacement of the swing base is achieved through the cooperation of the screw rod and the screw hole.

[0022] Preferably, a cylinder is fixedly connected to the swing base, and the extension and retraction end of the cylinder is powered to the swing member. When the cylinder retracts, the guide member does not contact the transport device, and when the cylinder extends, the guide member contacts the transport device.

[0023] The cylinder drives the swinging component to lift and lower vertically. It can lift the component when the material is close to it, thus avoiding contact with the material. It can also adjust the height of the bottom guide of the swinging component to avoid contact with the conveyor belt and cause damage. It can also lower the component when the material is heavy, and increase the guiding force through friction. It can be adjusted according to the size and weight of the material.

[0024] Preferably, the receiving device includes a plurality of discharge ports provided on the transport device, the discharge ports being matched with the output direction of the swinging component, and the output end of the discharge port being connected to a hopper.

[0025] The discharge port receives the material delivered by the swinging component and transfers it to the hopper for storage. A baffle is installed on the hopper to prevent it from falling.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0027] (1) Through the structural design of the swing device, the swing component is used to move the material and guide it to the corresponding hopper, which can quickly realize the sorting of materials and realize the rapid response in the direction of the swing component, increasing the flexibility and applicability of sorting.

[0028] (2) Through the structural design of the displacement mechanism, the swing device is driven to make lateral displacement, which can increase the swing range of the swing device and can be combined with the swing device to quickly reset, speed up the efficiency of direction adjustment, and increase the flexibility and applicability of sorting.

[0029] (3) By controlling the lifting of the swing component with a cylinder, the distance between the bottom guide of the swing component and the conveyor belt can be adjusted. It can be flexibly adjusted according to the size and weight of the material, and plays a protective role in preventing wear on the guide and the conveyor belt.

[0030] The features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail through embodiments and accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0039] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. However, it should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit its scope. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present utility model.

[0040] Example 1, see Figures 1-4This utility model provides a cycloidal device, including a transport device 1, a receiving device 2, a swing device 3 and a drive motor 307. The transport device 1 consists of a conveyor belt, a motor that provides power to it, and a conveyor roller, with the conveyor belt wound around the conveyor roller.

[0041] The receiving device 2 includes several discharge ports 201 on both sides of the conveyor belt. The discharge port 201 is a horizontal plate and is equipped with a baffle to prevent material from falling. The end of the discharge port 201 away from the conveyor belt is the output end, which is connected to a hopper. The discharge port 201 and the hopper can be connected by a slide rail.

[0042] The swing device 3 is equipped with a camera and a data terminal. The camera is connected to the data terminal via wires and wirelessly. The data terminal is connected to the drive motor 307 via wires or wirelessly. After the camera identifies the material, the data terminal automatically analyzes the material type and guides the sorting.

[0043] The oscillating device 3 includes a device frame 301 connected to both sides of the conveyor belt. The device frame 301 is an inverted U-shaped frame located above the conveyor belt. An oscillating base 302 is provided on the oscillating base 302. A rotating central shaft 306 is fixedly connected to the oscillating base 302. A bearing is provided on the rotating central shaft 306, and an oscillating component 304 is rotatably connected to it through the bearing. The oscillating component 304 is rotatably connected to the oscillating base 302. A guide 305 is provided at one end of the oscillating component 304 facing the conveyor belt. The bottom of the guide 305 contacts the oscillating base 302 to guide the movement of materials. A transmission mechanism and a drive motor 307 are provided on the oscillating component 304.

[0044] See Figure 6 , 7 The transmission mechanism includes a first transmission gear 308 rotatably connected to the swing member 304, a drive motor 307 whose output end is connected to the first transmission gear 308 and provides it with power, and a second transmission gear 309 fixedly connected to the rotation center shaft 306. The meshing of the first transmission gear 308 and the second transmission gear 309 enables the drive motor 307 to drive the first transmission gear 308 to perform planetary gear motion around the second transmission gear 309, that is, to drive the swing member 304 to rotate on the rotation center shaft 306.

[0045] The rotation of the swing member 304 enables the movement of the guide member 305, allowing the material to follow the guide member 305 for sorting.

[0046] In one feasible embodiment, the drive motor 307 is mounted on the swing base 302, and the rotation is transmitted to the swing member 304 by the meshing and transmission action of the drive motor 307 and several transmission gears, thereby driving the swing member 304 to rotate.

[0047] Example 2, see Figures 1-4The technical difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that it also includes a cylinder 303 fixedly connected to the swing base 302. The telescopic end of the cylinder 303 is connected to the swing member 304. In the extended state, the bottom of the guide member 305 is in contact with the conveyor belt. This has the advantage of increasing the pushing force on the material through friction, avoiding damage to the guide member 305 from contact between the material and the guide member 305, and also guiding small materials. In the retracted state, the guide member 305 is detached from the conveyor belt. This has the advantage of avoiding wear and tear on the guide member 305 from friction, but it is necessary to pay attention to the adjustment in relation to the size and weight of the material. The user can then make adjustments according to the actual situation.

[0048] Example 3, see Figure 5 The technical feature that distinguishes this embodiment from Embodiment 1 is that it also includes a displacement mechanism provided on the device frame 301. The displacement mechanism includes a device assembly on the device frame 301 that drives the swing base 302 to move. It includes a moving motor 401 provided on the device frame 301. The output end of the moving motor 401 is poweredly connected to a screw rod 402. The swing base 302 is provided with a screw fitting 403 with a screw hole 404. The screw hole 404 and the screw rod 402 cooperate with each other. The moving motor 401 outputs power, and the cooperation between the screw rod 402 and the screw hole 404 converts the rotation into axial movement, so that the swing base 302 moves on the device frame 301.

[0049] In one feasible embodiment, the displacement mechanism includes a telescopic rod structure, which drives the swing base 302 to move by extending and retracting the telescopic rod.

[0050] The working process of this utility model:

[0051] This utility model discloses a cycloidal device. In use, the cylinder 303 is first adjusted according to the size and weight of the material. In this embodiment, a component with a height > 5mm and a weight < 50g is selected. Therefore, the guide 305 is adjusted to separate from the lower conveyor belt and maintain a distance of 5mm.

[0052] The power source for the conveyor belt is started, and the conveyor belt is driven to operate through the conveyor rollers. The material on the conveyor belt moves with the conveyor belt.

[0053] In automatic mode, after the camera recognizes the material information, it drives the drive motor 307 to operate according to the preset material classification, which in turn drives the transmission gear 308 to rotate. Through the meshing of the transmission gear 308 and the transmission gear 309, and the transmission gear 309 being in a fixed state, the transmission gear 308 is driven to form a planetary gear motion. The transmission gear 308 rotates around the transmission gear 309, which in turn drives the swing member 304 to rotate around the rotation center axis 306, thereby driving the guide member 305 to rotate to the corresponding position and carrying the material to the corresponding hopper.

[0054] When the next material arrives, if the material is close, a quick adjustment is required. The position of the swing base 302 is changed by the moving motor 401. With the rotation of the swing component 304, a rapid directional swing can be achieved, enabling a quick response to the next material.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
