Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical processing technology, and in particular relates to a product sorting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of metal stamping, the sorting process, as a crucial link connecting stamping production and subsequent processing, directly impacts the overall automation level and production costs of the production line. This process mainly involves the automatic sorting of finished parts, the separation and collection of stamping waste, and the transfer and receiving of products from multiple processes, requiring precise classification based on product size, shape, and processing status. However, current sorting technology in the industry still faces significant technical bottlenecks, making it difficult to meet the demands for efficient and flexible production.

[0003] Existing sorting technologies mainly employ three methods: First, manual sorting, where operators rely on hand tools (such as tweezers and clamps) to separate stamped parts from scrap materials one by one, and then sort them by category. While this method offers some flexibility, it is limited by the speed of manual operation, resulting in low production efficiency, easy damage to product contact surfaces, and a high scrap rate. Furthermore, human error in inspection or missorting is difficult to avoid, especially in mass production. Second, vibratory feeder combined with a robotic arm sorting. This method uses a vibratory feeder to orient and organize disordered workpieces, and a robotic arm precisely grasps and places them in designated locations. Although suitable for high-precision sorting scenarios, its equipment cost is high, the vibratory feeder has stringent requirements for workpiece shape consistency, and the robotic arm control system is complex and difficult to maintain, making it difficult to popularize in small and medium-sized enterprises. Third, a simple cylinder-push mechanism, where a cylinder pushes products into a receiving box, and then a tilting chute is used for sorting. This solution has a simple structure and low cost, but its core drawback is that it has a single action. Traditional cylinders can only push materials in a straight line, which cannot meet the sorting needs of products of different sizes and weights. Moreover, when the workpiece falls, it is easy to get stuck or fall due to the deviation of the chute angle or improper speed control, which seriously affects the reliability of sorting.

[0004] As the metal processing industry develops towards multi-variety, small-batch, and high-precision production, the shortcomings of existing sorting technologies are becoming increasingly apparent: manual operation is no longer sufficient to meet the efficiency requirements of automated production lines; the high cost and maintenance difficulty of vibratory feeder-robotic arm solutions limit their application scope; and the low adaptability and reliability of simple cylinder pusher mechanisms cannot meet the sorting needs of diverse products. Developing a sorting device that combines high efficiency, economy, and flexibility to achieve precise sorting of stamped parts of different sizes, thorough separation of waste materials, and stable flow of multi-process products has become a pressing technical challenge for the industry.

[0005] To address these issues, we have provided a product sorting mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a product sorting mechanism. Through the cooperation of SMC cylinder, product pressing block seat, magnetic coupling cylinder, product receiving box, thin cylinder with guide rod, Teflon tube, material trough baffle, material trough rotation device and product receiving slide, it solves the problem that the sorting equipment in the prior art cannot be efficient, economical and flexible at the same time. It realizes the problem of accurate sorting of stamped parts of different sizes, thorough separation of waste materials and stable flow of multi-process products.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution.

[0008] This utility model relates to a product sorting mechanism, including a slag-removing and cake-collecting mechanism. An SMC cylinder is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the slag-removing and cake-collecting mechanism. The output shaft of the SMC cylinder is fixedly connected to a product pressing block seat. A magnetic coupling cylinder is fixedly connected to the rear end of the inner cavity of the slag-removing and cake-collecting mechanism. The output shaft of the magnetic coupling cylinder is fixedly connected to a product receiving box. A thin-type cylinder with a guide rod is fixedly connected to the top of the rear end of the slag-removing and cake-collecting mechanism. A Teflon tube is fixedly connected to the output end of the thin-type cylinder with the guide rod. A material trough baffle is provided at the rear end of the top of the slag-removing and cake-collecting mechanism and outside the product receiving box. A material trough rotating device is fixedly connected to the rear end of the material trough baffle. A product receiving chute is provided outside the material trough baffle.

[0009] The present invention is further configured such that the SMC cylinder model is CY3RG40-900-M9BL, which clearly defines the SMC cylinder model. This model of cylinder is an industrial-grade high-precision product with stable pneumatic drive performance and precise stroke control capability. It can ensure the pressure uniformity and position accuracy of the pressing product top block seat when it is pressed down and positioned, avoid product damage or positioning deviation caused by insufficient cylinder precision, and improve the reliability of workpiece fixation during sorting.

[0010] The present invention is further configured such that the magnetic coupling cylinder is model CY3RG40-900-M9BL. The magnetic coupling cylinder has a magnetic coupling structure that enables rodless cavity drive. Compared with traditional cylinders, it has lower frictional resistance and higher motion stability. When driving the product receiving box to move horizontally, the positioning error is smaller. It is especially suitable for receiving and transferring high-precision workpieces such as stamping parts, reducing material offset or drop caused by vibration or jamming.

[0011] The present invention is further configured such that the thin-type guide rod cylinder is model MGPM40-100Z-M9BL. The integrated guide rod structure of the thin-type guide rod cylinder can effectively counteract lateral forces, ensuring high linearity movement of the Teflon tube when horizontally pushing materials, avoiding the pushing deviation or jamming problems caused by lateral shaking of traditional simple cylinders, and improving the consistency and reliability of pushing products of different sizes and weights.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that the end of the material trough rotating device away from the material trough baffle is fixedly connected to the surface of the slag removal bag material cake mechanism, forming a rigid transmission structure. This ensures that the driving force of the rotating device is stably transmitted when adjusting the angle of the material trough baffle, avoids baffle shaking or angle deviation caused by loose connection, and ensures accurate control of the material slippage trajectory during sorting.

[0013] The present invention is further configured such that the product receiving chute is symmetrically designed front and back, and one side of it is fixedly connected to the surface of the slag removal and cake removal mechanism. The symmetrical design of the product receiving chute can simultaneously accommodate two different sorting paths. With the angle adjustment of the chute baffle, the sorting function of "single mechanism, dual station" can be realized, which significantly improves the space utilization and sorting efficiency of the equipment. The fixed connection of one side of the chute to the slag removal and cake removal mechanism enhances the overall structural rigidity, reduces the displacement of the chute caused by vibration during the sorting process, and ensures the stability of the material falling path.

[0014] The present invention has the following beneficial effects.

[0015] 1. This utility model solves the problem of low production efficiency. By adopting process integration design, the three cylinders and the material trough rotation device work together to realize the full automation of the product separation and collection process, achieving a significant improvement in efficiency and yield.

[0016] 2. This utility model solves the problem of high equipment complexity. By optimizing the pneumatic actuator and sorting logic, it has significant advantages in cost, efficiency and adaptability, and is suitable for the sorting needs of small and medium-sized automated production lines.

[0017] 3. This utility model enhances the adaptability of the equipment. This equipment can be compatible with different products. By simply adding a product top block seat, a product receiving box, and a product receiving chute, it can achieve product sorting of one out of two, one out of three, or one out of four. Furthermore, the combination of the chute baffle and the rotating device makes it less likely for products to get stuck or fall off. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model is a product sorting mechanism, including a slag removal and cake removal mechanism 1. An SMC cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner cavity of the slag removal and cake removal mechanism 1. The output shaft of the SMC cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to a product pressing block seat 3. A magnetic coupling cylinder 4 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the bottom of the inner cavity of the slag removal and cake removal mechanism 1. A product receiving box 5 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the magnetic coupling cylinder 4. A thin cylinder with a guide rod is fixedly connected to the top of the rear end of the slag removal and cake removal mechanism 1. A Teflon tube 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the thin cylinder with a guide rod 6. A material trough baffle 8 is provided at the top rear end of the slag removal and cake removal mechanism 1 and outside the product receiving box 5. A material trough rotating device 9 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the material trough baffle 8. A product receiving chute 10 is provided outside the material trough baffle 8.

[0027] Specifically: SMC cylinder 2 has its output shaft extending vertically downwards, and its end is connected to the pressing product top block seat 3 via a flange. The bottom surface of the top block seat is designed as an arc surface or a flat surface that matches the top surface of the stamped part to ensure uniform force during pressing. Magnetic coupling cylinder 4 has its output shaft extending forward in the horizontal direction, and its end is connected to a rectangular product receiving box 5. Thin cylinder 6 with guide rod has its output end extending horizontally forward and is fixedly connected to a Teflon tube 7. The front end section of the Teflon tube 7 is a semi-circular groove that matches the stamped part, used for pushing materials.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Please see Figure 1-4Based on Example 1, the SMC cylinder 2 is model CY3RG40-900-M9BL, the magnetic coupling cylinder 4 is model CY3RG40-900-M9BL, the thin cylinder with guide rod 6 is model MGPM40-100Z-M9BL, the end of the material trough rotating device 9 away from the material trough baffle 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the slag removal and cake removal mechanism 1, the product receiving chute 10 is symmetrically designed front and back, and one side of it is fixedly connected to the surface of the slag removal and cake removal mechanism 1.

[0030] Specifically: The SMC cylinder model 2 is explicitly specified. This model is an industrial-grade high-precision product with stable pneumatic drive performance and precise stroke control. It ensures the uniformity of pressure and positional accuracy of the pressing product top block seat 3 during downward positioning, avoiding product damage or positioning deviations caused by insufficient cylinder precision, and improving the reliability of workpiece fixation during sorting. The magnetic coupling cylinder 4, with its magnetic coupling structure, achieves rodless cavity drive. Compared to traditional cylinders, it has lower frictional resistance and higher motion stability, resulting in smaller positioning errors when driving the product receiving box 5 to move horizontally. It is especially suitable for receiving and transferring high-precision workpieces such as stamped parts, reducing material deviation or dropping caused by vibration or jamming. The thin-type cylinder with guide rod 6, with its integrated guide rod structure, effectively counteracts lateral forces, ensuring high linearity movement of the Teflon tube 7 when horizontally pushing materials, avoiding the problems caused by traditional simple cylinders. To address the issues of lateral swaying causing pushing deviation or jamming, and to improve the consistency and reliability of pushing products of different sizes and weights, the end of the material trough rotating device 9 furthest from the material trough baffle 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the slag removal and cake removal mechanism 1, forming a rigid transmission structure. This ensures stable transmission of the driving force when the rotating device adjusts the angle of the material trough baffle 8, avoiding baffle swaying or angle deviation caused by loose connection, and ensuring precise control of the material falling trajectory during sorting. The product receiving chute 10 adopts a symmetrical front and rear design, which can simultaneously correspond to two different sorting paths. Combined with the angle adjustment of the material trough baffle 8, it realizes the "single mechanism, dual station" sorting function, significantly improving equipment space utilization and sorting efficiency. One side of the chute is fixedly connected to the slag removal and cake removal mechanism 1, enhancing the overall structural rigidity, reducing chute displacement caused by vibration during sorting, and ensuring the stability of the material falling path.

[0031] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: After the slag removal and cake removal mechanism 1 completes the slag removal of the product, the magnetic coupling cylinder 4 pushes the product receiving box 5 to the bottom of the product. The SMC cylinders 2 on both sides drive the product top block seat 3 to press down and make the product fall into the product receiving box 5. The magnetic coupling cylinder 4 returns to the initial state. At this time, the thin cylinder with guide rod 6 moves upward and lifts the connected Teflon tube 7 upward. At the same time, the material trough rotation device 9 drives the material trough baffle 8 to tilt the product receiving box 5 to both sides and open the outlet so that the product falls into the product receiving chute 10, thus completing the product sorting.

The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the present utility model to the specific implementation methods described. The present specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments in order to better explain the principle and practical application of the present utility model, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and utilize the present utility model.
