Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Example:

[0025] Please see Figures 1-3 A flat tube collection platform with a guiding structure includes a workbench 1, a connecting platform 2 fixedly installed on one side of the workbench 1, several sorting slots 6 on the workbench 1, a fixing plate 3 on the top of the workbench 1, the fixing plate 3 being inserted into the workbench 1 and slidably connected thereto, a side plate 5 on the side of the fixing plate 3 near the connecting platform 2, an auxiliary structure on the side plate 5, two base plates 4 at the bottom of the fixing plate 3, one base plate 4 being fixedly connected to the fixing plate 3, and a T-shaped slider 18 fixedly installed on the top of the other base plate 4, the T-shaped slider 18 being inserted into the fixing plate 3 and slidably connected thereto, a third electric telescopic rod 17 fixedly installed inside the fixing plate 3, the output end of the third electric telescopic rod 17 being fixedly connected to the T-shaped slider 18, a connecting plate 21 on the side of the two base plates 4 that are close to each other, a pressure plate 19 on the other base plate 4, and rollers rotatably connected to the side of the two base plates 4 that are close to each other and the side of the pressure plate 19 via a rotating shaft.

[0026] The fixed plate 3 can move laterally and act as an auxiliary structure, so that the flat tube that has moved to the top of the workbench 1 is pushed laterally, and is screened according to the length of the flat tube through several sorting slots 6. This enables the device to achieve automated screening, which greatly improves the turnover speed of the flat tube on the production line and reduces the labor intensity of the workers. Furthermore, the third electric telescopic rod 17 allows the other base plate 4 at the bottom of the T-shaped slider 18 to move laterally, so that the distance between the two base plates 4 can be adjusted according to the length of the flat tube. The connecting plate 21 further restricts the two sides of the flat tube.

[0027] A second servo motor 26 is fixedly installed inside the workbench 1. A second threaded rod 25 and a fixed rod are respectively provided on the corresponding sides of the fixed plate 3 inside the workbench 1. The fixed rod passes through the fixed plate 3 and is slidably connected to it. The output end of the second servo motor 26 is fixedly connected to the second threaded rod 25. The second threaded rod 25 is inserted into the interior of the workbench 1 and threadedly connected to it. A first electric telescopic rod 8 is fixedly installed on the side of the fixed plate 3 near the side plate 5. T-shaped guide rods 9 are fixedly installed on the side of the fixed plate 3 on both sides corresponding to the first electric telescopic rod 8. The output end of the first electric telescopic rod 8 is fixedly connected to the side plate 5. Both T-shaped guide rods 9 pass through the side plate 5 and are slidably connected to it.

[0028] The auxiliary structure includes a first servo motor 16, with a worm gear 15 fixedly mounted on the output end of the first servo motor 16. Two worm wheels 14 mesh with the outer side of the worm gear 15. A first threaded rod 13 is fixedly mounted on the bottom of each of the two worm wheels 14. The first threaded rod 13, the worm wheels 14, and the worm gear 15 are all rotatably connected to the side plate 5. Push plates 11 are threadedly connected to the outer side of each of the two first threaded rods 13. Both push plates 11 pass through the bottom of the side plate 5 and are slidably connected to it. An auxiliary rod is provided inside each of the two push plates 11, and the auxiliary rod passes through the push plate 11 and is slidably connected to it. The side plate 5 is fixedly connected to the two auxiliary rods.

[0029] The first servo motor 16 drives the first threaded rod 13 at the bottom of the two worm gears 14 to rotate synchronously and in the same direction, thereby driving the two push plates 11 to move out from inside the side plate 5.

[0030] One of the connecting plates 21 is fixedly connected to one of the base plates 4. The other connecting plate 21 is inserted into the interior of the other base plate 4 and slidably connected to it. A pressure sensor 23 is fixedly installed inside the other base plate 4. Two return springs 22 are fixedly installed on the side of the other connecting plate 21 near the pressure sensor 23. The other ends of the two return springs 22 are fixedly connected to the base plate 4. Two fourth electric telescopic rods 20 are fixedly installed inside the other base plate 4. The output ends of the two fourth electric telescopic rods 20 are fixedly connected to the pressure plate 19.

[0031] The second servo motor 26 drives the fixed plate 3 on the outside of the second threaded rod 25 to reciprocate. The flat tube is transported to the top of the workbench 1 through the existing transmission structure via the connecting platform 2. The first electric telescopic rod 8 drives the side plate 5 to move the flat tube, so that the flat tube comes into contact with the infrared sensor 10. The rollers on the two connecting plates 21 correct the position of the flat tube, so that one side of the flat tube is level with the sorting tank 6, which facilitates its screening.

[0032] Simultaneously, through the cooperation of the reset spring 22 and the pressure sensor 23, a third electric telescopic rod 17 drives another connecting plate 21 at the bottom of the T-shaped slider 18 to move laterally. When the roller on the other connecting plate 21 contacts and senses one side of the flat tube, the third electric telescopic rod 17 stops operating. At the same time, through the fourth electric telescopic rod 20, the pressure plate 19 moves laterally, reducing the flat tube. When screening, one end of the flat tube enters the sorting tank 6 first, affecting the accuracy of screening. This ensures that the flat tube falls into the connecting frame 7 in a horizontal state during screening.

[0033] Please see Figure 4 An infrared sensor 10 is installed on the top of the workbench 1. The infrared sensor 10 is inserted into the interior of the workbench 1 and slidably connected to it. A second electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed inside the workbench 1, and the output end of the second electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the infrared sensor 10. A sensor is embedded on the side of the connecting platform 2 near the fixed plate 3.

[0034] A connecting frame 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the workbench 1 and at the bottom of several sorting slots 6. A buffer structure 24 is provided on each of the connecting frames 7. The buffer structure 24 consists of a contact plate, a buffer pad, a damper, a buffer spring, and a limit rod. A controller 12 is embedded on one side of the workbench 1. The controller 12 is electrically connected to the first electric telescopic rod 8, the infrared sensor 10, the first servo motor 16, the third electric telescopic rod 17, the fourth electric telescopic rod 20, the pressure sensor 23, the second servo motor 26, the sensor, and the second electric telescopic rod.

[0035] When the infrared sensor 10 moves longitudinally via the second electric telescopic rod, it senses the flat tube that has moved to the top of the workbench 1 and performs screening. This allows the flat tube to be screened and collected after being output from the production line, reducing the difficulty of subsequent processing. The device is controlled by the controller 12.

[0036] Working principle: The flat tube is transported by setting up an existing transmission structure on one side of the connecting platform 2, and connected and guided by the connecting platform 2. The surface slide of the connecting platform 2 is made of stainless steel and the surface is polished to reduce the friction between the flat tube and the slide, ensuring that the flat tube can be smoothly transported to the top of the workbench 1 for screening. At the same time, the sliding width of the connecting platform 2 decreases from top to bottom, which is convenient for clamping and limiting by the connecting plate 21.

[0037] The infrared sensor 10 senses the conveyed flat tube, and the first servo motor 16 drives the first threaded rod 13 at the bottom of the two worm gears 14 to rotate synchronously in the same direction. This causes the two push plates 11 to move out of the side plate 5. The first electric telescopic rod 8 drives the side plate 5 to push the flat tube to make it contact the infrared sensor 10. The third electric telescopic rod 17 causes the other bottom plate 4 at the bottom of the T-shaped slider 18 to move laterally, so that the two connecting plates 21 cooperate to restrict the two sides of the flat tube, thereby correcting the position of the flat tube and aligning one end of the flat tube with the sorting groove 6. At the same time, the fourth electric telescopic rod 20 drives the pressure plate 19 to move laterally, so that the flat tube falls into the connecting frame 7 in a horizontal state during screening.

[0038] The infrared sensor 10 is moved down by the second electric telescopic rod, which drives the second servo motor 26 to move the fixing plate 3 on the outside of the second threaded rod 25 back and forth. This causes the adjusted flat tube to move laterally and be screened through the sorting trough 6 before falling into the connecting frame 7. The buffer structure 24 reduces the possibility of the flat tube damaging the connecting frame 7 after falling. At the same time, the contact plate and buffer pad work together to reduce the possibility of damage to the flat tube.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
