Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of industrial automation production equipment, specifically relating to a material arrangement device for workpiece processing. Background Technology

[0002] The production of betel nuts was originally mostly done manually. However, with the development of industrialization and the growing demand in the betel nut market, the processing of betel nuts now needs to rely on industrialization to replace the relatively inefficient manual production.

[0003] Existing technologies have proposed improved structural forms for conveying and sorting devices in areca nut processing, but they still suffer from low conveying efficiency and can only process in a single line. Chinese Patent CN218807078U discloses an areca nut feeding system for areca nut packaging, including conveyor sections spaced laterally. Along the material movement direction, the end of one conveyor section is higher than the front of the adjacent next conveyor section. A material distribution mechanism is provided between adjacent conveyor sections, and a storage device is located below the distribution mechanism. The discharge pipe of the storage device is located above a sorting and feeding device, and the discharge port of the sorting and feeding device is connected to a conveyor on a fixed-quantity feeding device. While this achieves chain conveying of areca nuts to be processed to some extent and realizes automated production, the existing conveying structure limits it to single-line conveying, preventing collaborative parallel processing and severely impacting processing efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve it and provide a material arrangement device is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a material sorting and arranging device. Through a channel assembly set at the output end of the transmission section, the transmitted workpieces are diverted to meet the needs of multiple flipping sections operating simultaneously. Through a sorting sensor group and a sorting mechanism electrically connected to the control system, the transmitted workpieces are monitored and fed back in real time, and the sorting mechanism is instructed to perform corresponding actions, thereby realizing continuous and effective diversion of workpieces, enabling multiple operation processes to operate in parallel, and significantly improving the efficiency of the processing equipment.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0007] A material handling and arrangement device, fixed on a workbench and located at the output end of a transmission section, includes a channel assembly and at least one sorting mechanism. The channel assembly is connected to the transmission section and extends along the workpiece travel direction. The sorting mechanism is fixed above the transmission section and is swayable relative to the transmission section. The channel assembly at the output end of the transmission section diverts the transmitted workpieces to meet the needs of multiple flipping sections operating simultaneously. The sorting mechanism above the transmission section can sort the workpieces during transmission, thereby realizing multiple workpiece transmission paths and parallel conveying, enabling multiple operation processes to be carried out in parallel, and significantly improving the efficiency of the processing equipment.

[0008] Furthermore, the transmission unit is a conveyor belt, the input end of which is connected to a vibratory feeder, and the output end of which is connected to the input end of the channel assembly.

[0009] Furthermore, the channel assembly includes at least one channel, one of which is located at the output end of the transmission section along the workpiece travel direction; the other channels are staggered and spaced apart on both sides of the transmission section and are connected to the transmission section.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes at least one sorting sensor group electrically connected to the sorting mechanism, the sorting sensor group being arranged at intervals above the transfer section along the workpiece travel direction.

[0011] Furthermore, the sorting mechanism includes at least one sorting component, the swing angle of each sorting component corresponding to one of the channels other than the output end of the transmission section; the sorting sensor group includes at least one sorting sensor; the sorting sensors are fixed at intervals above the transmission section; and are arranged corresponding to the sorting components.

[0012] Furthermore, the sorting assembly includes at least one sorting drive motor, a sorting fixing frame, and at least one set of swing arm assemblies, wherein the swing arm assembly is integrated with the movable end of the sorting drive motor and is configured to move together; the fixed end of the sorting drive motor is fixed to the worktable by the sorting fixing frame and is located above the transmission section.

[0013] Furthermore, the swing arm assembly includes at least one swing arm and at least one roller, wherein the roller is spaced apart on the end face of the swing arm and is rotatably arranged relative to the swing arm.

[0014] Furthermore, the sorting sensor group includes a first sorting sensor and a second sorting sensor, wherein the first sorting sensor and the second sorting sensor are fixed above the transport section at intervals; along the workpiece travel direction, the first sorting sensor is located upstream of the second sorting sensor.

[0015] Furthermore, the channel assembly includes a first channel, a second channel, and a third channel, wherein the third channel is disposed at the output end of the transmission section and is connected to the transmission section along the workpiece travel direction; the first channel and the second channel are disposed on both sides of the transmission section at a staggered interval and are connected to the transmission section.

[0016] Furthermore, along the workpiece travel direction, the input ends of the first channel and the second channel are vertically higher than the output ends of the first channel and the second channel.

[0017] Furthermore, it also includes a limit sensor installed on the movement trajectory of the sorting mechanism. The limit sensor is installed during the rotational movement of the sorting mechanism. After the sorting action of the workpiece is completed, the mechanism continues to move along the travel trajectory until it stops above the stop position corresponding to the workpiece's travel trajectory on the transmission section.

[0018] The material handling and arrangement device provided in the above embodiments, through a channel assembly set at the output end of the transmission section, diverts the transmitted workpieces to meet the needs of multiple flipping sections operating simultaneously; through a sorting sensor group and a sorting mechanism electrically connected to the control system, the conveyed workpieces are monitored and fed back in real time, and the sorting mechanism is instructed to perform corresponding actions, thereby continuously and effectively diverting the workpieces and enabling multiple operation processes to operate in parallel, significantly improving the efficiency of the processing equipment; through the staggered first channel, the second channel, and the third channel connected to the transmission section, the workpieces conveyed from the transmission section are diverted in multiple paths under the action of the sorting mechanism.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] It should be noted that if any directional indication, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc., is involved in the embodiments of this utility model, such directional indication is only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. Furthermore, if any description involving "first," "second," "S1," "S2," "step one," "step two," etc., is involved in the embodiments of this utility model, such description is only for descriptive purposes and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated or the execution order of the method. Those skilled in the art will understand that anything that does not violate the essential points of the utility model within the scope of its inventive concept should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown in the illustration, a processing apparatus using the material arrangement device of this invention is described according to a partial exemplary embodiment. Taking areca nut processing as an example, this processing apparatus is used for processing workpiece 100, such as areca nut processing. It includes a feeding section, such as a vibratory feeder 20, spaced apart on a worktable 10, and a transmission section 30, such as a conveyor belt. The input end of the transmission section 30 is located at the output end of the vibratory feeder 20. It also includes:

[0027] The flipping section 40 flips and arranges the workpieces during the workpiece conveying process, forming an orderly arrangement;

[0028] The gripping unit 50 picks up the workpiece and places it in the processing position;

[0029] The cutting section 60 performs processes such as piercing, cutting, tearing, picking out, and removing from the workpiece to complete the final processing.

[0030] The flipping part 40, the gripping part 50 and the cutting part 60 are arranged on the worktable 10 at intervals by a bracket. The flipping part 40 is located at the output end of the transmission part 30, the gripping part 50 is located at the output end of the flipping part 40, and the cutting part 60 is located at the output end of the gripping part 50 along the workpiece travel direction.

[0031] In the processing flow of this betel nut, for example, after the betel nut is conveyed by the vibrating plate 20 and the conveying unit 30, it may be in different situations such as the front side facing up or the back side facing up. It needs to be flipped over by the flipping unit 40 so that all the back sides are facing up so that it can be grabbed by the grabbing unit and the front side is exposed to the cutting unit. The betel nut is removed by piercing, cutting, breaking, picking out and removing the kernel, and then it is ready for further processing.

[0032] In this process, areca nuts can only be output from the conveyor 30 in a single line, and are sequentially picked up by the grabbing part 50 and sent to the cutting part 60 for pit removal, resulting in low work efficiency. The key to this utility model is to provide a material sorting device, which is set between the conveyor 30 and the grabbing part 40, to further divert the areca nuts to different channels. Multiple grabbing parts 50 and cutting parts 60 are set up for multiple pit removal, thereby improving the efficiency of areca nut processing.

[0033] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown in the partial exemplary embodiment, a material sorting and arranging device is fixed on the worktable 10. Along the workpiece travel direction, the input end of the material sorting and arranging device 70 is provided at the output end of the transmission section 30; the output end of the material sorting and arranging device 70 is provided at the input end of the flipping section 40. Thus, after the workpiece is fed, it is diverted by the material sorting and arranging device and split into different conveying channels to enter the input end of the flipping section, thereby meeting the needs of multiple flipping sections operating simultaneously.

[0034] Optionally, the material handling and arrangement device 70 includes a channel assembly 71 and at least one sorting mechanism 73. The channel assembly 71 is connected to the transmission section 30 and extends along the workpiece travel direction. The sorting mechanism 73 is fixed above the transmission section 30 and is movable relative to the transmission section 30. Thus, by using the sorting mechanism above the transmission section, the workpieces in the transmission process can be sorted to each channel assembly. Furthermore, by using the channel assembly at the output end of the transmission section, the transmitted workpieces are diverted to meet the needs of multiple flipping sections operating simultaneously. This enables the transmission paths of multiple workpieces and parallel transmission, allowing multiple work processes to operate in parallel, significantly improving the efficiency of the conveying process.

[0035] Optionally, the material arrangement device 70 further includes at least one sorting sensor group 72 electrically connected to the sorting mechanism 73, the sorting sensor group 72 being arranged at intervals above the transmission section 30 along the workpiece travel direction.

[0036] Specifically, the material handling and arrangement device 70 includes a channel assembly 71, a sorting sensor group 72, and at least one sorting mechanism 73. Along the workpiece travel direction, the channel assembly 71 is disposed at the output end of the transmission section 30; the sorting sensor group 72 is spaced apart above the transmission section 30 and electrically connected to the control system; the sorting mechanism 73 is rotatably disposed above the transmission section 30 and electrically connected to the control system. Thus, the channel assembly at the output end of the transmission section diverts the transmitted workpieces to meet the needs of simultaneous operation of multiple flipping sections. Specifically, the sorting sensor group, electrically connected to the control system, monitors and provides feedback on the transmitted workpieces in real time. When the sorting sensor group detects that a workpiece has been transported to a designated position, it instructs the sorting mechanism to perform the corresponding action, thereby continuously and effectively diverting the workpieces, enabling multiple processing steps to operate in parallel, and significantly improving processing efficiency.

[0037] Optionally, the sorting mechanism 73 includes at least one sorting component, the swing angle of each sorting component corresponding to one of the channels other than the one provided at the output end of the transmission section 30; the sorting sensor group 72 includes at least one sorting sensor; the sorting sensors are fixed at intervals above the transmission section 30 and are arranged corresponding to the sorting components.

[0038] Optionally, the channel assembly 71 can be of various suitable structures, such as a slide, conveyor belt, roller conveyor, ball bearing conveyor, or any combination thereof made of sheet metal. In this application, the specific structure of the channel assembly 71 is not specifically limited, as long as it ensures that the workpiece 100 travels along its preset trajectory.

[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the channel assembly 71 includes at least one channel, one of which is disposed at the output end of the transmission section 30 along the travel direction of the workpiece 100, and the other channels are disposed at staggered intervals on both sides of the transmission section 30 and are in communication with the transmission section 30.

[0040] In the preferred embodiment of this application, the channel assembly 71 includes three channels as an example for explanation, but this is not a limitation. Specifically, the channel assembly 71 includes a first channel 711, a second channel 712, and a third channel 713. The third channel 713 is disposed at the output end of the transmission unit 30 along the workpiece travel direction and is connected to the transmission unit 30. The first channel 711 and the second channel 712 are disposed at staggered intervals on both sides of the transmission unit 30 and are connected to the transmission unit 30. Thus, through the staggered first channel, the second channel, and the third channel connected to the transmission unit, the workpieces transported from the transmission unit are diverted into multiple paths under the action of the sorting mechanism, thereby realizing multi-path parallel processing operations. Specifically, the first channel 711 and / or the second channel 712 adopt a slide structure. Along the workpiece travel direction, the input ends of the first channel 711 and the second channel 712 are vertically higher than the output ends of the first channel 711 and the second channel 712. Thus, by having the input ends of the first channel and the second channel higher than the output ends, automatic travel can be achieved by relying on the workpiece's own gravity. In addition, the first channel 711 and the second channel 712 can also be a conveyor belt structure, without specific limitations here.

[0041] Optionally, the sorting sensor group 72 includes a first sorting sensor 721 and a second sorting sensor 722, wherein the first sorting sensor 721 and the second sorting sensor 722 are fixedly positioned above the transport section 30 at intervals, with the first sorting sensor 721 located upstream of the second sorting sensor 722 along the workpiece travel direction. Specifically, the first sorting sensor 721 is disposed at the opening where the first channel 711 communicates with the transport section 30; the second sorting sensor 722 is disposed at the opening where the second channel 712 communicates with the transport section 30. Thus, by distributing the first and second sorting sensors at the connection points between the first and second channels and the transport section, workpieces at the connection points can be captured in real time, providing a basis for timely and accurate sorting and improving sorting efficiency.

[0042] Optionally, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the sorting assembly includes at least one sorting drive motor 731, a sorting fixing frame 732, and at least one set of swing arm assemblies 733. The swing arm assemblies 733 are integrally connected to the movable end of the sorting drive motor 731 and are configured to move together. The fixed end of the sorting drive motor 731 is fixed to the worktable 10 via the sorting fixing frame 732 and is located above the transmission section 30. Specifically, after the swing arm assembly 733 sorts the workpiece 100, it is misaligned with the transmission section 30. Preferably, the swing arm... After component 733 sorts workpiece 100, its stopping position is set to deviate from the trajectory of workpiece 100 traveling in the transmission section 30. Thus, the sorting drive motor can drive the swing arm assembly to rotate relative to the sorting fixed frame, thereby sorting the workpieces on the transmission section to different slides, and then completing the sorting of different channels. By setting the stopping position of the swing arm assembly after sorting the workpiece to deviate from the trajectory of the workpiece traveling in the transmission section, interference with the workpiece during travel is avoided, ensuring the continuity of workpiece transmission.

[0043] Optionally, such as Figure 3 As shown, to improve the efficiency of workpiece sorting, the sorting assembly also includes a limit sensor 74 disposed on the movement trajectory of the swing arm assembly 733. The limit sensor 74 is positioned above the position corresponding to the point where the workpiece 100 stops at a point during the rotational movement of the sorting mechanism 73 after the sorting of the workpiece 100 is completed, after which it continues to travel along the trajectory until it deviates from the trajectory of the workpiece 100 on the transmission section 30. Specifically, after the swing arm assembly 733 completes the sorting action during its rotational movement, it continues to travel along the trajectory until it deviates from the trajectory of the workpiece 100 on the transmission section 30, thus avoiding interference with the workpiece 100. In other words, the limit sensor 74 is used to identify and monitor the position where the swing arm assembly 733 stops after completing the sorting of the workpiece 100, thereby avoiding interference with the workpiece 100 and ensuring the safety of the workpiece 100 during transport on the transmission section 30.

[0044] Optionally, the swing arm assembly 733 includes at least one swing arm 7331 and at least one roller 7332, wherein the rollers 7332 are spaced apart on the end faces of the swing arms 7331 and are rotatably arranged relative to the swing arms 7331. Optionally, one end of the swing arm 7331 is fixed, and the other end is spaced apart by a multi-arm bracket, each bracket having a roller 7332 rotatably arranged at its distal end away from the rotation center. For ease of installation and removal, mounting holes 7333 are also included, extending parallel to the axial direction of the rollers 7332 and formed on the swing arm 7331. Optionally, there are two rollers 7332, rotatably fixed on the end faces of both ends of the swing arm 7331, located at the ends of the swing arm 7331 away from the rotation center. Preferably, to reduce space occupation, the mounting holes 7333 are located at the rotation center of the swing arm 7331; this achieves both fixation of the swing arm assembly 7333 and provides the axis of rotation for the swing arm.

[0045] In summary, the working principle of the sorting assembly provided in this application is as follows: the swing arm assembly 733, driven by the sorting drive motor 731, can rotate relative to the sorting fixed bracket 732, that is, it can rotate relative to the workpiece 100 on the transmission section 30. When the swing arm assembly 733 rotates over the transmission section 30, it pushes the workpiece 100 into the channel of the passage assembly 71, thus sorting the workpiece 100. After that, it continues to travel a certain distance along its movement trajectory and then stops, waiting for the next round of sorting of workpiece 100. At this time, the setting of the position where the swing arm assembly 733 stops deviates from the trajectory of the workpiece 100 in the transmission section 30, avoiding interference with the workpiece 100 during its movement.

[0046] Specifically, let's take the example of splitting workpiece 100 into three paths. Along the direction in which workpiece 100 travels on the transmission unit 30, when the first swing arm assembly 733, in conjunction with the limit sensor 74, splits workpiece 100 once every three passes, the remaining workpiece 100 continues to move forward until the second swing arm assembly 733. At this point, when the second swing arm assembly 733, in conjunction with the limit sensor 74, splits workpiece 100 once every two passes, the second split of workpiece 100 is achieved, and the remaining workpiece 100 continues to move forward, thus splitting one path into three paths.

[0047] When it is necessary to split workpiece 100 into N paths during the transmission process, it is only necessary to set up N-1 swing arm assemblies 733 and limit sensors 74 along the direction of travel of workpiece 100. Under the joint action of the swing arm assemblies 733 and limit sensors 74, the first swing arm assembly 733 will split the workpiece 100 once after passing through N workpieces 100, and then return to the preset stop position to wait for the next round of splitting. The second swing arm assembly 733 will split the workpiece 100 once after passing through N-1 workpieces 100, and then return to the preset stop position to wait for the next round of splitting, and so on, to gradually realize the splitting of workpiece 100.

[0048] The specific working principle of the material arrangement device provided in this application is as follows:

[0049] The workpieces to be processed, such as areca nuts, are fed by a vibratory feeder 20 and fall onto a conveyor belt, such as a transport section 30. By reasonably controlling the conveyor belt speed, the areca nuts can be arranged at certain intervals on the conveyor belt, and during the conveyor belt transport process, the individual workpieces can be arranged with a greater spacing. When the workpiece queue enters the output end (distribution area) of the transport section 30, it reaches the material sorting and arranging device of this utility model. For further explanation, the material sorting and arranging device of this utility model is illustrated with a three-channel example. After the first sorting sensor 721 captures the arrival signal of the workpiece, the control system triggers the sorting drive motor 731 to drive the swing arm 7331 of the swing arm assembly 733 to rotate. The first areca nut is then pushed into the first channel 711, completing the sorting of the first workpiece. The next areca nut continues to move forward, triggering the second sorting sensor 722. Based on the same principle, the sorting drive motor 731 located at the entrance end of the second channel 712 pushes the second areca nut into the second channel 712, completing the sorting of the second workpiece. The next third areca nut continues forward, moving along the third channel 713, and is then diverted and conveyed through the third channel 713. The subsequent fourth workpiece enters the output end (distribution area) of the transmission unit 30 again, and is sorted again. This cycle repeats, completing the three sorting of workpieces, thus completing the multiple distribution of workpieces.

[0050] It should be noted that this example uses a material sorting and arrangement device with areca nuts as the workpiece, including 3 channels and 2 sorting mechanisms, as an example for illustration. However, it is not limited to this. Those skilled in the art will understand that any number of channels and one less sorting mechanism can be set to correspond to any workpiece that needs to be sorted. When the workpiece needs to be transported to a channel corresponding to the transmission unit and does not need to change direction, the sorting mechanism is not required. When the workpiece needs to be transported to other channels that form a certain angle with the transmission unit, the swing angle of the sorting mechanism can be set accordingly, and each workpiece can be sorted to the corresponding channel in a timely and fixed-angle manner, completing the diversion of each workpiece and forming a material sorting and arrangement device with one feeding and multiple channels, which improves the efficiency of workpiece transportation. Taking areca nuts as an example, the pitting process of areca nuts can be carried out on multiple lines, improving the overall efficiency of areca nut processing.

[0051] In view of this, the present invention aims to provide a material sorting and arranging device for areca nuts. By using a slide rail assembly and channel assembly set at the output end of the transmission section, the transmitted workpieces are diverted to meet the needs of multiple flipping sections operating simultaneously. Through a sorting sensor group and a sorting mechanism electrically connected to the control system, the transmitted workpieces are monitored and fed back in real time, and the sorting mechanism is instructed to perform corresponding actions, thereby achieving continuous and effective diversion of workpieces, enabling multiple operation processes to operate in parallel, and significantly improving the efficiency of the processing equipment.

[0052] Furthermore, the drive motor in the embodiments of this application can be of various suitable forms, such as a servo motor or a stepper motor. No specific limitation is made here, as long as it meets the corresponding functions.

[0053] In summary, the material sorting device provided in this embodiment of the application, through a channel assembly set at the output end of the transmission section, diverts the transmitted workpieces to meet the needs of multiple flipping sections operating simultaneously; through a sorting sensor group and a sorting mechanism electrically connected to the control system, the conveyed workpieces are monitored and fed back in real time, and the sorting mechanism is instructed to perform corresponding actions, thereby continuously and effectively diverting the workpieces, realizing parallel operation of multiple processing steps, and significantly improving the efficiency of the processing equipment; through the staggered first channel, the second channel, and the third channel connected to the transmission section, the workpieces conveyed by the transmission section are sorted under the action of the sorting mechanism. Multiple channels are diverted, enabling parallel processing operations. A first and second sorting sensor, located at the connection point between the first and second channels and the transmission unit, can capture workpieces at the connection point in real time, providing a basis for timely and accurate sorting and improving sorting efficiency. A sorting drive motor rotates the swing arm assembly relative to the sorting frame, sequentially distributing workpieces from the transmission unit to the corresponding conveyor belts, achieving the goal of multi-channel processing. This completes the workpiece sorting, arrangement, and multi-channel diversion, featuring low energy consumption, high speed, accurate operation, high efficiency, light weight, flexible layout, and good adaptability.

[0054] The material arrangement apparatus provided in the above embodiments of this application has at least the following characteristics:

[0055] The material handling and arrangement device provided in this application, through a channel assembly installed at the output end of the transmission section, diverts the transmitted workpieces to meet the needs of simultaneous operation of multiple flipping sections. Through a sorting sensor group and a sorting mechanism electrically connected to the control system, the device monitors and provides feedback on the transmitted workpieces in real time, and instructs the sorting mechanism to execute corresponding actions, thereby continuously and effectively diverting the workpieces and enabling multiple processing steps to operate in parallel, significantly improving the efficiency of the processing equipment. Through staggered first and second channels, and a third channel connected to the transmission section, the workpieces transported from the transmission section are diverted into multiple paths by the sorting mechanism. The system diverts workpieces, enabling multi-path parallel processing. A first sorting sensor and a second sorting sensor, located at the connection point between the first and second channels and the transmission unit, can capture workpieces at the connection point in real time, providing a basis for timely and accurate sorting and improving sorting efficiency. A sorting drive motor rotates the swing arm assembly relative to the sorting frame, sequentially distributing workpieces from the transmission unit to the corresponding conveyor belts, achieving multi-path distribution. This completes the workpiece sorting, arrangement, and multi-path diversion, offering advantages such as low energy consumption, high speed, accurate operation, high efficiency, light weight, flexible layout, and good adaptability.
