[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic disc cleaning technology, and in particular to an automatic disc separation device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, with the development of hard disk storage technology, as a core component of computer consumer electronics products, its application in human production and life is becoming increasingly widespread and popular. Among them, the disk is a very important core component of the hard disk, and its performance directly affects the performance of the hard disk.

[0003] Previously, each storage box contained 25 discs for transportation. However, with the development of industry demand, the storage and transportation method of 25 discs / box was too costly. In order to reduce costs, the number of storage boxes was increased from 25 discs / box to 50 discs / box. With the same number of storage boxes, the number of discs stored and transported doubled, which can solve the problem of high transportation costs.

[0004] However, the existing automated disc washing equipment processes discs based on 25 discs / box. Therefore, the discs need to be split before entering the automated disc washing equipment, dividing a 50-disc disc into two 25-disc discs before entering the automated disc washing equipment.

[0005] Existing disc splitting devices primarily rely on the left-right movement of two disc trays to achieve the splitting action. This left-right movement requires a significant amount of space, and the discs on both trays must be completely picked up before the next splitting operation can begin, resulting in low splitting efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic disc splitting device, in which a disc splitting plate moves up and down in the height direction in the disc splitting cavity to realize the disc splitting action; and the temporary storage cavity is provided with a temporary storage slot to temporarily store the discs after splitting, thereby improving the disc processing efficiency.

[0007] The objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

Detailed Implementation

[0028] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0029] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0030] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0031] like Figures 1-4 An automatic disc splitting device is shown, including a disc splitting base 10, a disc splitting plate 14, and a disc splitting drive. The disc splitting base 10 is provided with a disc splitting cavity 11 and a temporary storage cavity 12. The two side walls of the disc splitting cavity 11 are provided with a plurality of first positioning grooves 111 and a plurality of disc splitting through grooves 112, and the plurality of first positioning grooves 111 and the plurality of disc splitting through grooves 112 are distributed at intervals along the length direction of the disc splitting cavity 11. The disc splitting through grooves 112 extend along the height direction of the disc splitting cavity 11. The two side walls of the temporary storage cavity 12 are provided with a plurality of temporary storage grooves 121.

[0032] The disc divider 14 is disposed within the disc divider cavity 11, and the disc divider 14 can move along the height direction of the disc divider cavity 11. The disc divider 14 is provided with a plurality of second positioning grooves 141, which are spaced apart along the length direction of the disc divider 14; the plurality of second positioning grooves 141 correspond one-to-one with the plurality of disc divider through grooves 112. The disc divider drive member 15 is used to drive the disc divider 14 to move.

[0033] Based on the above structure, when using the automatic disc splitting device of this utility model, during disc splitting, in the initial state of disc splitting, the disc splitting plate 14 can move upward to the top of the disc splitting cavity 11 under the action of the disc splitting plate driving member 15. Multiple discs in the disc splitting box are transferred to the disc splitting cavity 11 of the disc splitting seat 10. Multiple discs can be placed one by one into multiple first positioning grooves 111 and multiple disc splitting through grooves 112. The bottom end of the disc in the multiple disc splitting through grooves 112 can be supported by the disc splitting plate 14 and correspond to multiple second positioning grooves 141 of the disc splitting plate 14. The disc in the multiple first positioning grooves 111 can be supported by the bottom wall of the first positioning grooves 111.

[0034] Subsequently, the disc drive 15 drives the disc 14 to move downward. After the disc 14 moves downward, the discs in the disc slot can move along the extension direction of the disc slot. In this way, the discs in the multiple second positioning slots 141 on the disc 14 can be separated from the discs in the first positioning slot 111 during the downward movement.

[0035] After the discs are separated, the discs in the multiple first positioning slots 111 can be transferred to the disc cleaning equipment for cleaning. Then, the disc separation drive 15 can move the disc separation plate 14 upwards to the top of the disc separation cavity 11. This allows the discs in the multiple second positioning slots 141 on the disc separation plate 14 to be transferred to the multiple temporary storage slots 121 in the temporary storage cavity 12 for temporary storage. The disc separation plate 14 then returns to its initial position, ready to begin the next disc separation operation. After the previous set of discs in the disc cleaning equipment has been cleaned, the discs in the temporary storage slots 121 can be transferred for cleaning. This continuous disc separation and cleaning process improves disc processing efficiency.

[0036] Furthermore, multiple first partition strips can be provided on the side wall of the disc-splitting cavity 11, and the multiple first partition strips are spaced apart along the length of the disc-splitting cavity 11, so that a disc-splitting channel 112 is formed between two adjacent first partition strips; a first positioning groove 111 is provided at the top of the first partition strip. In this way, after the discs are transferred into the disc-splitting cavity 11, one group of multiple discs is supported by the first positioning groove 111 of the first partition strip, while another group of multiple discs can be placed into the disc-splitting channel 112 between two adjacent first partition strips.

[0037] Thus, the disc drive 15 drives the disc 14 to move downward, and the disc in the second positioning groove 141 of the disc 14 can slide along the first dividing strip to separate from the disc in the first positioning groove 111.

[0038] Furthermore, the top two sides of the first positioning groove 111 are provided with first guide slopes, so that when the disc is placed into the first positioning groove 111, it can be guided into the first positioning groove 111 by the first guide slopes on both sides of the top of the first positioning groove 111, reducing the jamming situation that occurs during the disc placement process.

[0039] In this embodiment, a plurality of second partition strips may be provided on the disc divider 14, and the plurality of second partition strips are spaced apart along the length of the disc divider 14, with the aforementioned second positioning groove 141 disposed on the second partition strips. After the disc divider 14 moves upward, the spacing between the plurality of second partition strips on the disc divider 14 can avoid the discs in the first positioning groove 111, reducing interference between the discs. The second positioning grooves 141 on the second partition strips on the disc divider 14 can support and separate the discs.

[0040] Furthermore, the top two sides of the second positioning groove 141 are provided with second guide slopes. Similarly, when the disc is placed into the second positioning groove 141, it can be guided into the second positioning groove 141 by the second guide slopes on both sides of the top of the second positioning groove 141, reducing the jamming situation that occurs during the disc placement process.

[0041] Furthermore, the top two sides of the temporary storage slot 121 are provided with third guide slopes. When the disc is placed into the temporary storage slot 121, it can be guided into the temporary storage slot 121 by the third guide slopes on both sides of the top of the temporary storage slot 121, reducing the jamming situation that occurs during the disc placement process.

[0042] Furthermore, a disc detector 13 can be provided on the disc holder 10. The disc detector 13 is located at the end of the disc separation cavity 11 and can detect the discs inside the disc separation cavity 11. In this way, the disc detector 13 can detect the disc separation status, ensuring that the discs are completely separated and avoiding damage to the discs by the disc separation shaft.

[0043] It should be noted that the disc detector 13 in this embodiment can be a laser detector or a camera, as is available in the prior art. Taking a laser detector as an example, it utilizes the photoelectric effect: when photon energy is absorbed by a photoelectric material, photoelectrons are generated, thereby forming an electrical signal. In laser detection, when a laser beam illuminates a target object, if the target object can absorb the laser energy and generate a photoelectric effect, the presence and quantity of the target object are determined by detecting the electrical signal generated by the photoelectrons. Alternatively, a camera can be used to directly detect disc image signals.

[0044] Furthermore, the automatic disc splitting device also includes a disc holder drive 20, which drives the disc holder 10 to move along its own height. Specifically, the automatic disc splitting device includes a support frame 21 on which the disc holder 10 is mounted. The support frame 21 has a certain height, and the disc holder 10 has a certain height on the support frame 21, reducing the vertical travel of the disc transfer mechanism 30 when transferring discs. The disc holder drive 20 is provided on the support frame 21, which drives the disc holder 10 to move up and down as a whole, and can also coordinate with the movement of the disc transfer mechanism 30.

[0045] It should be noted that the aforementioned disc drive 15 and disc seat drive 20 can also be implemented using existing structures such as cylinders and electric slides.

[0046] Furthermore, the automatic disc separation device also includes a disc transfer mechanism 30, which is used to transfer discs. The disc transfer mechanism 30 can perform disc transfer actions, such as transferring the disc to be cleaned to the first positioning groove 111 or the disc passing groove 112 of the disc separation slot, or transferring the separated disc to the temporary storage groove 121, or transferring the separated disc to the disc cleaning equipment for cleaning.

[0047] Furthermore, the disc transfer mechanism 30 also includes a transfer frame 31 and a transfer frame drive. The transfer frame drive is used to drive the transfer frame 31 to move. The transfer frame 31 is provided with at least two transfer rods 32. The transfer rods 32 are used to pass into the holes of the disc.

[0048] It should be noted that during the transfer, the transfer frame drive can drive the rotating frame to move left and right or up and down, so that after the transfer rod 32 corresponds to the hole of the disc, the transfer frame drive will drive the transfer frame 31 to move back and forth, so that the transfer rod 32 can be inserted into the hole of the disc, and the disc can be inserted together to achieve the transfer.

[0049] Of course, the aforementioned transfer frame drive can be implemented using an electric slide table that combines the X and Y axes, as is currently available in the art. Alternatively, a multi-axis robot, as is currently available in the art, can be used.

[0050] For those skilled in the art, various other corresponding changes and modifications can be made based on the technical solutions and concepts described above, and all such changes and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
