[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0033] One embodiment of this application provides an automatic valve plate splitting mechanism, such as... Figures 1-6 As shown, it includes: frame 1, which serves as a support;

[0034] Power unit 2 is connected to frame 1;

[0035] The feeding unit 3 is connected to the frame 1;

[0036] Material sorting unit 4 is connected to frame 1; material sorting unit 4 is connected to power unit 2, and material sorting unit 4 cooperates with feeding unit 3.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the power unit 2 includes a power section 21, which is a cylinder. Its structure is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The fixing part of the power section 21 is connected to the frame 1 through the first connecting plate 22.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, the feeding unit 3 includes a feeding base 31, which is connected to the frame 1. The feeding base 31 has a connecting through hole, and a feeding cylinder 32 is connected to the connecting through hole. A feeding through hole 321 for valve plates to pass through is opened in the middle of the feeding cylinder 32, and the feeding through hole 321 penetrates the feeding cylinder 32. To facilitate continuous feeding of stacked valve plates, a feeding guide tube 322 is connected to the feeding through hole 321, and the diameter of the feeding guide tube 322 is the same as the diameter of the feeding through hole 321. An observation hole 323 is opened on the side of the feeding guide tube 322 to facilitate viewing the number of valve plates inside the feeding guide tube 322. As an example, there are two connecting through holes, spaced apart. The number of corresponding feeding cylinders 32 and feeding guide tubes 322 is the same as the number of connecting through holes, thus enabling simultaneous feeding of multiple valve plates and improving production efficiency.

[0039] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, it also includes a connecting base 7, on which the feeding base 31 is connected, and the connecting base 7 is connected to the frame 1; a sliding groove 71 is provided on the connecting base 7; a sliding plate 72 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 71, one end of the sliding plate 72 is connected to the movable end of the power unit 21; the other end of the sliding plate 72 is connected to the material distribution unit 4; the power unit 21 drives the sliding plate 72 to slide on the connecting base 7, thereby driving the material distribution unit 4 to move outward or return to its original position.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the material distribution unit 4 is located below the material feeding unit 3; the material distribution unit 4 includes a material distribution base 41, which is connected to the other end of the sliding plate 72; the material distribution base 41 is provided with a receiving space 42 corresponding to the material feeding through hole 321, and a guide column 43 is provided in the receiving space 42. When the material distribution base 41 is located directly below the material feeding base 31, the guide column 43 is located directly below the material feeding through hole 321. There is a preset distance between the upper surface of the guide column 43 and the lower end face of the material feeding through hole 321. The preset distance is determined by the thickness of the valve plate. For example, when two valve plates need to be divided together, the preset distance is the thickness of the two valve plates.

[0041] Under normal conditions, the material distribution base 41 is located directly below the material feeding base 31. The stacked valve pieces enter the material feeding through hole 321 through the material feeding guide tube 322 and fall onto the upper surface of the guide column 43. Then, driven by the power unit 21, the power unit 21 drives the sliding plate 72 to move outward on the connecting base 7, causing the material distribution base 41 to move outward and drive the guide column 43 away from the material feeding base 31. At this time, the separated valve pieces are on the guide column 43, which is convenient for the next process to remove.

[0042] Furthermore, when the guide column 43 is not directly below the feeding base 31, it can temporarily block the feeding through hole 321. The feeding base 41 is connected to a sliding sealing plate 44. When the guide column 43 moves outward, the sliding sealing plate 44 can block the feeding through hole 321. When the guide column 43 returns to the initial position, the sliding sealing plate 44 moves away from the feeding through hole 321, that is, the feeding through hole 321 is opened, and feeding continues.

[0043] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in order to allow the number of valve plates on the guide column 43 to be distributed according to actual needs, a first threaded hole is provided at the bottom of the guide column 43; an adjusting shaft 46 is rotatably connected to the accommodating space 42 via a connecting bearing 45. One end of the adjusting shaft 46 is threadedly connected to the first threaded hole of the guide column 43, and the other end of the adjusting shaft 46 extends to the outside of the accommodating space 42 and is connected to an adjusting wheel 47. By rotating the adjusting wheel 47, the adjusting shaft 46 is screwed in or out of the first threaded hole of the guide column 43, thereby allowing the guide column 43 to move closer or further away from the inner bottom of the accommodating space 42, so that the preset distance between the guide column 43 and the feeding through hole 321 can be adjusted.

[0044] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, it also includes a guide slider 48, which is connected to the guide column 43. The guide slider 48 cooperates with the side of the receiving space 42, and the guide slider 48 facilitates the movement of the guide column 43.

[0045] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a set screw 49 is also included. The set screw 49 is connected to the set thread hole 431 of the guide post 43. The set thread hole 431 is connected to the first thread hole. When the guide post 43 reaches the preset position, the set screw 49 cooperates with the adjusting shaft 46 to fix the guide post 43 relatively within the receiving space 42.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a guide unit 5, which makes the material distribution unit 4 move more smoothly away from the feeding unit 3; the guide unit 5 includes a guide frame 51 connected to the material distribution base 41, the guide frame 51 is provided with a connecting groove 54, and a guide bearing 53 is connected in the connecting groove 54 through a connecting shaft 52, the guide bearing 53 is in contact with the upper surface of the feeding base 31 of the feeding unit 3.

[0047] Furthermore, in another embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a linkage unit 6, which is connected to the frame 1. The linkage unit 6 includes a linkage bracket 61, on which a linkage shaft 62 is rotatably connected. One end of the linkage shaft 62 is connected to a handle linkage 63, and the other end of the linkage shaft 62 is connected to a shift fork 65. The other end of the shift fork 65 is movably connected to a sliding plate 72. The sliding plate 72 has a clearance mounting elongated hole 721, and the other end of the shift fork 65 is movably connected to a pin 64 located in the clearance mounting elongated hole 721.

[0048] It should be noted that when the power unit 21 is unusable, the power unit 21 should be removed and the material distribution unit 4 can also be discharged by the linkage unit 6. That is, the linkage unit 6 is also a type of power unit 2.

[0049] In this embodiment, material is fed through the feeding guide tube 322, which has an observation hole 323. If the material is lower than the position of the observation hole 323, more material is added. The power unit 21 is connected to the sliding plate 72, which drives the sliding plate 72 to make linear reciprocating motion. The adjusting wheel 47 is adjusted to form a height difference between the guide column 43 and the lower end face of the feeding through hole 321 to confirm the number of valve plates. During the opposite movement of the feeding unit 3 and the distributing unit 4, the valve plates will be automatically taken out according to the required number. The operation is convenient and the practicality is strong.
