Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated sorting, and in particular to a multi-channel screw sorting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional screw sorting operations typically employ manual screening or simple vibratory feeder sorting methods, which are not only inefficient but also struggle to accurately distinguish screws of different sizes. While some existing automated sorting equipment can perform basic sorting functions, most are complex in structure, have a single sorting channel, cannot handle screws of multiple sizes simultaneously, and lack an efficient classification and conveying system, resulting in the need for manual reprocessing after sorting. Furthermore, some equipment has insufficient capacity to handle oversized screws, easily causing jamming or missorting. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a screw sorting device with a reasonable structure, high sorting accuracy, and multi-channel automated classification and conveying capabilities to improve production efficiency and sorting accuracy.
[0003] While existing technologies can achieve a certain degree of screw sorting, they suffer from drawbacks: they lack efficient automated sorting functions and precise classification and conveying capabilities. In view of this, we propose a multi-channel screw sorting machine that solves the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a multi-channel screw sorting machine.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A multi-channel screw sorting machine includes a mounting frame, a conveyor belt, a threaded post 1, and a threaded post 2. The conveyor belt is located above the mounting frame, and the threaded post 1 and threaded post 2 are located above the conveyor belt. A mounting groove is provided on one side of the mounting frame, and multiple motors 1 are installed in the mounting groove. The output shaft of one half of the motors 1 is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the threaded post 2, and the output shaft of the other half of the motors 1 is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the threaded post 1. The connection relationship between the motors 1 and the threaded post 1 and threaded post 2 is: motor 1 - threaded post 1, next motor 1 - threaded post 2. In each group of threaded posts, the threaded post 1 and threaded post 2 are inclined, and the gap between them gradually decreases from bottom to top.
[0006] When using this device, the screws to be sorted are fed into the inlet. The guide block inside the inlet guides the screws to three sets of threaded posts. Drive motor one causes threaded posts one and two to rotate. As threaded posts one and two rotate, the screws move from top to bottom along the set of threaded posts. Based on the size of the screw and the gap between its position on the set of threaded posts, the screws automatically fall onto the corresponding conveyor belt below. Drive motor two causes the conveyor belt to move, transporting the screws on the conveyor belt to the outlet, thus completing the screw sorting process.
[0007] Preferably, one end of each of the threaded post one and the threaded post two is connected to a bearing, the mounting bracket is provided with three sets of baffles, the bearing is located between each set of baffles, and the bearing is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting bracket. The baffles are provided to prevent the screws from falling directly from the side of the threaded post after being piled up when too many screws are put in.
[0008] Preferably, the mounting bracket has a feed inlet on one side, and the feed inlet has two guide blocks that divide the feed inlet into three areas, which can effectively divert the screws to the three sets of threaded posts.
[0009] Preferably, the mounting frame is equipped with a fixed frame, the fixed frame is equipped with a conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt has a discharge port on one side. The discharge port is located on one side of the guide rail and is an open design, which facilitates the collection of sorted screws.
[0010] Preferably, a second motor is provided on one side of the fixing frame, and a sink groove is provided on one side of the fixing frame.
[0011] Preferably, the lower outer wall of the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to multiple bases.
[0012] Preferably, the first and second threaded posts are designed to be inclined, and the first and second threaded posts are inclined to open, with an opening angle of three degrees.
[0013] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:
[0014] I. This utility model achieves efficient sorting through the rotation and spacing variation of threaded post one and threaded post two. After the screws enter through the feed inlet, they move downwards under the rotation of the threaded posts. As the spacing between the threaded posts gradually increases with the stroke, screws of different sizes will fall at the gap matching their diameter. Small screws fall prematurely when the spacing is small because they cannot be supported, while large screws continue to be transported to a larger spacing before falling. This design requires no manual intervention, accurately distinguishes screws of various specifications, significantly improves sorting efficiency and accuracy, and is suitable for automated sorting needs in mass production.
[0015] Second, based on the first beneficial effect, the sorted screws are transported in an orderly manner via conveyor belts. Each threaded post with a different stroke corresponds to a conveyor belt channel. After the screws fall onto the conveyor belt, a second motor drives the belt to transport screws of different sizes to their corresponding discharge ports. These discharge ports can be connected to collection troughs for categorized stacking. Furthermore, oversized screws are transported to a settling tank for unified processing. This modular design ensures the continuity of sorting and transportation, reduces manual sorting steps, and improves overall production efficiency, making it particularly suitable for assembly lines or packaging processes requiring the sorting of screws of various sizes.
[0016] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0026] Secondly, this utility model is described in detail with reference to the schematic diagrams. When describing the embodiments of this utility model, for ease of explanation, the cross-sectional views illustrating the device structure may be partially enlarged, not adhering to the usual scale. Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] Please see Figures 1-5As shown, this embodiment is a multi-channel screw sorting machine, including a mounting frame 1, a conveyor belt 2, a first threaded post 6, and a second threaded post 7. The conveyor belt 2 is located above the mounting frame 1, and the first threaded post 6 and the second threaded post 7 are located above the conveyor belt 2. A mounting groove 5 is provided on one side of the mounting frame 1, and multiple motors 4 are installed in the mounting groove 5. The output shaft of half of the motors 4 is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the second threaded post 7, and the output shaft of the other half of the motors 4 is fixedly connected to the rotation center of the first threaded post 6. In use, the motors 4 are driven to rotate the first threaded post 6 and the second threaded post 7. The screws are gradually transported to the end along the upper end of the first threaded post 6 and the second threaded post 7. Due to the change in stroke, the spacing between the threaded posts gradually increases. Screws of different types do not receive the support of the threaded posts at different strokes and fall onto the conveyor belt 2.
[0030] When using this device, the screws to be sorted are put into the feed inlet 8. The guide block 9 in the feed inlet 8 guides the screws to three sets of threaded posts. The drive motor 4 makes the threaded posts 6 and 7 rotate. Under the rotation of the threaded posts 6 and 7, the screws move from top to bottom along the set of threaded posts. According to the size of the screw model, the gap size of the position of the screw on the set of threaded posts will automatically fall to the corresponding conveyor belt 2 below. The drive motor 12 makes the conveyor belt 2 move, and transports the screws on the conveyor belt 2 to the discharge port 13, thus completing the screw sorting work.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment, based on embodiment 1, further includes: one end of threaded post 6 and threaded post 7 are both connected to bearings 15, the mounting frame 1 is provided with three sets of baffles 14, the bearings 15 are located between each set of baffles 14, and the bearings 15 are fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame 1.
[0033] The mounting bracket 1 has a feed inlet 8 on one side, and two guide blocks 9 are provided in the feed inlet 8. When in use, after the screw is put into the feed inlet 8, it is guided by the guide blocks 9 and limited by the baffle 14, and finally moves between the threaded post 6 and the threaded post 7.
[0034] Mounting frame 1 is equipped with a fixed frame 3, and the fixed frame 3 is equipped with a conveyor belt 2. The conveyor belt 2 has a discharge port 13 on one side. In use, the three collection slots can be placed close to the discharge port 13 of mounting frame 1. The conveyor belt 2 transports the screws to the edge of mounting frame 1 and finally drops them into the corresponding collection slots.
[0035] One side of the fixed frame 3 is equipped with a motor 12, and the other side of the fixed frame 3 is equipped with a sink 10. When in use, screws that are too large and do not meet the production requirements are transported to the bottom by threaded post 6 and threaded post 7, and finally fall into the sink 10 for unified collection and processing.
[0036] Multiple bases 11 are fixedly connected to the lower outer wall of the mounting bracket 1. During use, the bases 11 can increase the overall stability of the device and ensure the smooth operation of the sorting screws.
[0037] The threaded post 6 and the threaded post 7 are designed to be inclined, and they are also inclined to open with an angle of three degrees. By using the inclined design and the angle design, screws of different specifications can be dropped in the appropriate area, which is convenient for screening.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
