[0023] In material sorting scenarios, the output of a single sorting device is limited and may not be able to meet high production demands. In some related technologies, multi-group sorting devices are used to operate independently, which can improve processing capacity, but also has the problems of occupying more space, higher operating costs, and difficulties in feeding and discharging materials.

[0024] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, exemplary embodiments of this disclosure provide an auxiliary device 100 for parallel sorting of multiple sorting devices, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the auxiliary device 100 may include: a multi-layer platform 110, a conveying pipe 120, one or more guide hoppers 130, and a discharge pipe 140.

[0025] Multi-level platform 110, such as Figure 1 As shown, the platforms 110 can be staggered vertically, with each platform 110 capable of supporting one sorting device 200. The multi-level platforms 110 are suitable for situations with limited width but ample height, and can be arranged in a staggered vertical configuration. A material conveying device can be installed at the bottom of each platform 110. Each of the upper platforms 110 can house one sorting device 200, which can also be staggered for convenient unified feeding and receiving. This arrangement maximizes the use of vertical space, avoids excessive floor space occupation, and thus improves the system's compactness and efficiency. A staircase can be installed on one side of the multi-level platforms 110, connecting each level of the platform 110.

[0026] 120mm feed pipe, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown, a conveying pipe 120 can be installed on one side of the multi-level platform 110, with multiple discharge ports corresponding to each level of the platform 110 located on the side facing the platform 110 and at the bottom. This conveying pipe can be used to transport materials to the sorting equipment mounted on each level of the platform 110. The conveying pipe 120 can be a pipe arranged diagonally from top to bottom, and can be installed on one side of the multi-level platform 110. When the sorting equipment 200 is working, the material to be sorted is placed in the conveying pipe 120, and the material can be transported through the conveying pipe 120 to the sorting equipment 200 on each level of the platform 110. The conveying pipe 120 can be provided with discharge ports, which can be located on the side facing the platform 110 and at the bottom, and can be used to feed materials to each sorting equipment 200. In some embodiments, assuming the platform has four layers, after the guide hoppers 130 of the third and fourth layers have introduced most of the material to be sorted into the sorting device 200 of each platform 110, the remaining material can be conveyed along the conveying pipe 120 directly to the inlet of the sorting device 200 of the second platform 110. The outlet 121 near the third and fourth platforms can be located on one side of the conveying pipe 120, and the outlet 122 leading to the second platform can be located at the bottom end of the conveying pipe 120. The conveying pipe 120 can rely on the material's own weight to discharge the material, without requiring an additional power source.

[0027] One or more feed hoppers 130, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, a guide hopper 130 can be installed corresponding to the discharge port on the side facing the platform, and can be used to guide the material conveyed by the conveying pipe 120 to the feed port of the sorting equipment 200. One or more guide hoppers 130 can be provided. One guide hopper 130 can be installed at the feed port of the sorting equipment 200 on each platform 110. The material transported from the conveying pipe 120 can be guided to the feed port of the sorting equipment 200 through the guide hopper 130. A sliding device, such as a pulley or guide rail, can be provided at the bottom of the guide hopper 130, allowing it to slide relative to the conveying pipe 120, thereby adjusting the receiving position of the guide hopper 130.

[0028] Discharge pipe 140, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sorting equipment 200 can be installed at the bottom of each platform 110 to receive and discharge materials sorted by the sorting equipment 200. The discharge pipe 140 can be a single pipe arranged diagonally from top to bottom. The discharge pipe 140 can have multiple branch pipes, which can be installed at the bottom of each platform 110 to receive and discharge materials sorted by the sorting equipment 200. The discharge pipe 140 can rely on the weight of the materials to discharge, without requiring an additional power source.

[0029] In this embodiment, an auxiliary device 100 is used to configure a multi-layer platform 110, a conveying pipe 120, one or more guide hoppers 130, and a discharge pipe 140. The multi-layer platform 110 allows multiple sorting devices 200 to be arranged in a staggered manner in the vertical direction. The conveying pipe 120 can simultaneously supply material to multiple sorting devices 200, and the discharge pipe 140 can simultaneously supply material to multiple sorting devices 200, enabling multiple sorting devices 200 to work in parallel. Furthermore, the multi-layer configuration of the platform 110 in the vertical direction allows materials to utilize gravity, facilitating material feeding and discharging, and saving costs. Through reasonable space utilization and system integration, the efficiency of the material sorting process is improved, while saving space and reducing costs.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the discharge pipe 140 may include: a plurality of first branch pipes 141, a first main pipe 142, a plurality of second branch pipes 143, and a second main pipe 144.

[0031] Multiple first branch pipes 141, such as Figure 2 As shown, a first branch pipe 141 can be installed at the bottom of each platform 110 to receive the first material separated by the sorting equipment. Multiple first branch pipes 141 can be installed at the bottom of the sorting equipment 200 mounted on each platform 110. A first material discharge hopper can be installed on the sorting equipment 200, which can be connected to the first branch pipes 141. The first branch pipes 141 can receive and discharge the first material. The first material can be concentrate or tailings.

[0032] First supervisor 142, such as Figure 2 As shown, it can be connected to multiple first branch pipes 140, and can be used to receive and discharge the first material. The top of the first main pipe 142 can be set at the top layer of the platform 110. The first main pipe 142 can be connected to multiple first branch pipes 141, and the first branch pipes 141 can guide the first material into the first main pipe 142. The first main pipe 142 can extend to the bottom and discharge, and the discharge port can directly reach the material conveying device 150 at the bottom layer.

[0033] Multiple second branch pipes 143, such as Figure 2 As shown, a second branch pipe 143 can be installed at the bottom of each platform 110 to receive the second material separated by the sorting equipment. Multiple second branch pipes 143 can be installed at the bottom of the sorting equipment 200 mounted on each platform 110. A second material discharge hopper can be installed on the sorting equipment 200 and connected to the second branch pipes 143, which can be used to receive the second material. The second material can be tailings or concentrates of a different category than the first material.

[0034] Second supervisor 144, such as Figure 2As shown, it can be connected to multiple second branch pipes, which can be used to receive and discharge second materials. The top of the second main pipe 144 can be set at the top layer of the platform 110. The second main pipe 144 can connect to multiple first branch pipes 141, which can guide the second material into the second main pipe 144. The second main pipe 144 can extend to the bottom, and the discharge port can directly reach the material conveying device 150 at the bottom layer.

[0035] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by setting up multiple first branch pipes 141, a first main pipe 142, multiple second branch pipes 143, and a second main pipe 144, the multiple first branch pipes 141 and the first main pipe 142 are connected together, and the multiple second branch pipes 143 and the second main pipe 144 are connected together. The discharge pipeline is arranged in a unified manner, which can discharge materials in a unified manner, facilitate material collection, improve discharge efficiency, and reduce costs.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the angle between the first branch pipe 141 and the first main pipe 142 can be 30-70 degrees; the angle between the first main pipe 142 and the horizontal direction can be 30-60 degrees. The first branch pipe 141 and the first main pipe 142 can be set at a certain angle, 30-70 degrees, allowing the first material entering the first branch pipe 141 to fall along the first branch pipe 141 to the first main pipe 142 under the action of gravity. An excessively large angle between the first branch pipe 141 and the first main pipe 142 is not conducive to the first material falling from the first branch pipe 141 to the first main pipe 142. An excessively small angle between the first branch pipe 141 and the first main pipe 142 is not conducive to spatial distribution. The first main pipe 142 can be at a certain angle to the horizontal direction, 30-60 degrees, allowing the first material falling into the first main pipe 142 to directly reach the bottom material transport device 150 under the action of gravity. If the angle between the first main pipe 142 and the horizontal direction is too small, it will be difficult for the first material to be discharged; if the angle between the first main pipe 142 and the horizontal direction is too large, it will be difficult for the first material in the first branch pipe 141 to enter the first main pipe 142.

[0037] The second branch pipe 143 and the corresponding first branch pipe 141 can be arranged parallel to each other; the second main pipe 144 and the first main pipe 142 can be arranged parallel to each other. The parallel arrangement of the second branch pipe 143 and the corresponding first branch pipe 141 facilitates the smooth entry of the second material into the second branch pipe 143. The parallel arrangement of the second main pipe 144 and the first main pipe facilitates the entry of the second material through the second branch pipe 143 into the second main pipe 144 and its discharge.

[0038] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting a certain angle between the first branch pipe 141 and the first main pipe 142, and between the first main pipe 142 and the horizontal direction, the first material can fall smoothly into the first branch pipe 141, and under the action of gravity, smoothly enter the first main pipe 142 and be effectively discharged. Correspondingly, by setting the second branch pipe 143 and the second main pipe 144 parallel to the first branch pipe 141 and the first main pipe 142 respectively, the second material can smoothly enter the second branch pipe 143, and under the action of gravity, enter the second main pipe 144 and be effectively discharged.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the auxiliary device 100 may further include: a first transmission device 151 and a second transmission device 152.

[0040] First transmission device 151, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it can be installed below the bottom of the first main pipe 142, and can be used to collect the first material and output the first material. The first conveying device 151 can be a belt conveyor, a baffle conveyor, a chain conveyor, etc. The first conveying device 151 can be installed at the bottom layer of the multi-layer platform 110, located below the bottom of the first main pipe 142, and can collect the first material discharged from the first main pipe 142 and output the first material.

[0041] The second transmission device 152, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it can be installed below the bottom of the second main pipe 144, and can be used to collect the second material and output the second material. The second transmission device 152 can be arranged parallel to the first transmission device 151. The second transmission device 152 can be installed at the bottom layer of the multi-layer platform 110, located below the bottom of the second main pipe 144, and can collect the second material discharged from the second main pipe 144 and output the second material.

[0042] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by setting up a first transmission device 151 and a second transmission device 152, the first material and the second material separated by multiple sorting devices 200 are collected, and the first material and the second material are collected and effectively discharged, thereby saving costs and improving transmission efficiency.

[0043] In some embodiments, the guide hopper 130 is movable relative to the conveying pipe 120. In a first position, the guide hopper 130 can at least partially extend into the corresponding discharge port to receive material. In a second position, the guide hopper 130 can be located outside the discharge port. A sliding device, such as a pulley or a slider, can be provided at the bottom of the guide hopper 130. The pulley can be located at the bottom of the guide hopper 130 and can slide directly in a preset direction. The slider can also be directly installed at the bottom of the guide hopper 130, allowing the guide hopper 130 to move on a slide rail via the slider. The receiving position of the guide hopper 130 can be adjusted by the sliding device. When a sorting device 200 is in operation and needs to sort materials, the corresponding guide hopper 130 can slide to a first position, at which point the guide hopper 130 can partially extend into the corresponding outlet of the conveying pipe 120 to receive materials. When a sorting device 200 is not in operation and does not need to sort materials, the corresponding guide hopper 130 can slide to a second position, at which point the guide hopper 130 is located outside the corresponding outlet of the conveying pipe 120. The distance the guide hopper 130 extends into the conveying pipe 120 can be controlled to change the required feed amount of materials entering different types of sorting devices 200. In this embodiment, the sorting device 200 extends into the corresponding outlet to receive materials in the operating state, and the guide hopper 130 moves outside the outlet in the non-operating state, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the guide hopper 130.

[0044] In some embodiments, a baffle 160 may be provided at the front end of the guide hopper 130, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the baffle 160 can be parallel to the extending direction of the conveying pipe 120. When the guide hopper 130 is in the second position, the baffle 160 can close the discharge port. The baffle 160 can be set at the front end of the guide hopper 130, and the baffle 160 can be parallel to the extending direction of the conveying pipe 120. The baffle 160 can be a cuboid plate structure, which can be set according to the size of the discharge port. When the sorting equipment 200 is not in operation, the corresponding guide hopper 130 can slide to the second position, that is, the guide hopper 130 is located outside the discharge port corresponding to the conveying pipe 120. At this time, the baffle at the front end of the guide hopper 130 can completely close the discharge port of the conveying pipe 120. In this embodiment of the present disclosure, by setting the baffle 160 at the front end of the guide hopper 130, the discharge port can be closed, and the baffle 160 can prevent the material of the conveying pipe 120 from overflowing from the conveying port, so as to avoid wasting material. It can effectively prevent external debris, dust, or other unwanted substances from entering the conveying pipe 120.

[0045] In some embodiments, the auxiliary device 100 may further include: a drive device, which can be connected to the guide hopper 130 and can be used to drive the guide hopper 130 to move to a first position or a second position. The drive device can be a motor drive, a cylinder drive, an electromagnetic drive, etc. The drive device can control the moving position of the guide hopper 130, which facilitates the control of the feed rate of the guide hopper 130. The motor drive can convert the rotational motion of the motor into linear movement of the guide hopper 130 in the first and second positions through gears, belts, chains, or linear drivers, and can continuously or frequently adjust the position of the guide hopper 130 to adapt to the working state of the sorting equipment 200. The cylinder can push the piston rod with compressed air to move the guide hopper 130 along a predetermined path. By adjusting the airflow pressure or using a pneumatic valve, the cylinder can push the guide hopper 130 to move to the first or second position, which can make the guide hopper 130 move quickly. The electromagnetic drive can use an electromagnet or electromagnetic force to push the guide hopper 130 to move. An electromagnet, by controlling the switching of its current, generates an attractive or repulsive force, which can push the guide hopper 130 along the track to a first position or a second position. In this embodiment, by providing a driving device, the guide hopper 130 can be effectively driven to move. This allows the sorting device 200 to drive the corresponding guide hopper 130 to the first position when in operation, and to drive the corresponding guide hopper 130 to the second position when not in operation.

[0046] In some embodiments, the auxiliary device 100 may further include: an air supply channel and a dust removal channel.

[0047] An air supply channel, which can be located on one side of each platform 110, can be used to supply gas to the sorting equipment 200 mounted on each platform 110. The air supply channel can be a top-down pipeline, located on one side of each platform 110. Branch pipelines can be installed on each platform 110 to supply gas to the sorting equipment 200 on each platform 110, ensuring a stable and uniform gas supply to each sorting device 200. The air supply channel can deliver gas to nozzles through pipes, ensuring that the nozzles can spray materials with a stable airflow for material sorting. The air supply channel can also deliver gas to a pneumatic pusher plate through pipes. The pneumatic pusher plate can use a cylinder as a drive source; the compressed air inside the cylinder pushes a piston, causing the pusher plate to move back and forth, thereby sorting the materials.

[0048] A dust removal channel can be installed on one side of each platform 110 to remove dust from the sorting equipment 200 mounted on each platform 110. The dust removal channel can be installed on one side of each platform 110 to directly remove dust from the sorting equipment 200 on each platform 110. The dust removal channel can be connected to an air purification device or dust removal system via a piping system. The dust removal channel can be a top-down pipeline and can be installed on one side of each platform 110. Branch pipelines can be installed on each platform 110 to provide dust removal for the sorting equipment 200 on each platform 110. Dust removal methods can include gas dust removal and water dust removal. Gas dust removal can effectively remove dust from materials, equipment, or surfaces by spraying compressed air or other gases. Water dust removal combines airborne dust particles with sprays or water streams; the dust is adsorbed by water droplets and carried away by the water flow, helping to suppress dust re-entrainment and is suitable for conditions with larger dust particles.

[0049] In this embodiment of the disclosure, by setting up air supply channels and dust removal channels for the sorting equipment 200 on each platform 110, and by adopting a centralized arrangement for both air supply and dust removal, each sorting equipment 200 can perform air supply and dust removal work simultaneously, which can effectively improve work efficiency.

[0050] Based on the same inventive concept, exemplary embodiments of this disclosure also provide a parallel sorting system, wherein, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the parallel sorting system includes: an auxiliary device 100 as described in any of the preceding embodiments, and a plurality of sorting devices 200.

[0051] The auxiliary device 100 may include a multi-layer platform 110, a conveying pipe 120, one or more guide hoppers 130, and a discharge pipe 140.

[0052] Multiple sorting devices 200 can be installed on each platform 110. Multiple sorting devices 200 can be installed on one side of a conveying pipe 120, which can transport materials to the multiple sorting devices 200. A guide hopper 130 can be installed at the top of the sorting devices 200 to guide the materials conveyed by the conveying pipe 120 to the inlet of the sorting device 200. A discharge pipe 140 can be installed at the bottom of the sorting devices 200 to receive and discharge the materials sorted by the sorting devices 200. The sorting devices 200 on each platform can be of the same model or different models. Each platform 110 can be equipped with a sorting device 200, or several platforms 110 can be randomly selected to have sorting devices 200 installed. Multiple sorting devices 200 can be vertically staggered on each platform 110, facilitating unified material supply and collection, and suitable for construction conditions with limited width but ample height. The multi-level platform 110 can accommodate the sorting devices 200 on a multi-story building structure. The bottom level of the multi-level platform 110 can be equipped with a material conveying device, while the upper levels can house multiple sorting devices 200. In operation, the material to be sorted can be fed into the conveying pipe 120 to each sorting device 200. The conveying pipe 120 has an outlet on each platform 110 for feeding the sorting devices 200. Each sorting device 200 has a guide hopper 130 at its inlet, and a sliding device can be installed at the bottom of the guide hopper 130 to adjust the receiving position. After the upper feed hopper 130 guides most of the material to be selected into the sorting equipment 200 of each layer, the remaining material can be conveyed along the conveying pipe 120 directly to the inlet of the last layer's sorting equipment 200. Subsequently, the sorting equipment 200 of each layer begins to sort the material into first material and second material. At the same time, the discharge pipes 140 are also uniformly arranged. The bottom discharge hopper of each sorting equipment 200 is connected to multiple first branch pipes 141 and multiple second branch pipes 143, which can guide the material into the first main pipe 142 and the second main pipe 144. The first main pipe 142 and the second main pipe 144 can extend to the bottom, and the discharge port directly reaches the first conveying device 151 and the second conveying device 152 at the bottom layer, thereby discharging the corresponding material.

[0053] This embodiment of the disclosure proposes a parallel sorting system, which includes an auxiliary device 100 and multiple sorting devices 200. By uniformly feeding and discharging materials to the multiple sorting devices 200, the multiple sorting devices can work in parallel, improving work efficiency and reducing costs. Furthermore, the platform 110 is arranged in multiple layers in the vertical direction, allowing materials to utilize gravity, facilitating material feeding and discharging, and saving costs.

[0054] In some embodiments, the plurality of sorting devices 200 may include: a plurality of vibrating feeders 210, such as Figure 5As shown, the vibrating feeders 210 can be installed inside multiple sorting devices 200. Installing the vibrating feeders 210 inside the sorting devices 200 reduces the occupancy of external structures, making the external appearance of the sorting devices 200 more concise, reducing the number of external connections and components, and improving the neatness and aesthetics of the sorting devices 200. The compactness of the sorting devices 200 also facilitates maintenance and piping layout. Each sorting device 200 is equipped with a vibrating feeder 210, enabling independent vibration control and ensuring more precise feeding for each sorting device 200. Different sorting devices 200 may require different vibration frequencies and amplitudes; independent control allows each sorting device 200 to be optimally configured according to material characteristics and processing requirements.
