Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel pipe coupler scaffolding technology, and in particular to the maintenance and sorting of couplers. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the continuous development of the construction industry, the use of fasteners has increased rapidly. Due to the complex environment of construction sites, used fasteners are prone to various problems such as mixed types and models, T-shaped wire detachment, damage and deformation, making them unusable and requiring return to the factory for repair. Returned fasteners need to be manually sorted before maintenance. Traditional manual unloading and sorting methods are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also generate a lot of dust and make it difficult to guarantee the quality and quantity of sorting. Therefore, a fastener sorting device has been developed to assist in sorting fasteners, which can save labor, reduce labor intensity, reduce sorting costs, and prevent dust pollution and occupational hazards.

[0011] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0012] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is: addressing the issues of large quantities of fasteners returning to the factory, difficult sorting, and time-consuming and labor-intensive processes, a fastener sorting device has been developed. Returned fasteners are unloaded and stored in a fastener feeding mechanism. A motor drives a hopper to rise and rotate, feeding the fasteners onto a PVC conveyor belt of the fastener storage device. The PVC conveyor belt transports the fasteners to various fastener sorting stations. Sorting workers place the sorted fasteners into a fastener counting mechanism, from which the fasteners slide down. A counter counts the fasteners, and the counted fasteners slide into a fastener box below the operating platform, completing the fastener return sorting process. This makes fastener sorting more labor-saving and efficient, reducing labor costs and preventing dust pollution and occupational hazards. Attached Figure Description
