Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of material sorting technology, specifically to a support frame and sorting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Coal, spodumene, and silica are widely used in current industrial production. However, these ores typically contain large amounts of gangue and impurities after mining, requiring sorting to differentiate between different types of ore to improve quality, reduce transportation costs, and minimize environmental pollution. Ore sorting equipment is widely used to meet this need. For ore sorting equipment, the sorting mechanism generally uses solenoid valves for actuation, thus performing the sorting operation. Ore sorting equipment is usually located in mines, where the harsh environment makes it susceptible to damage from water or slag, affecting the equipment's components and wiring, impacting operation, and potentially causing equipment failure. Furthermore, the poor waterproof and dustproof performance of material sorting equipment leads to lower safety. Utility Model Content

[0023] To overcome the above technical problems, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this disclosure provides a support frame for mounting a sorting mechanism 210. The sorting mechanism 210 includes a plurality of solenoid valves. The support frame may include: a bracket body 110, a junction box 120, a first housing 130, and a second housing 140.

[0024] The support body 110 is used to fix multiple solenoid valves of the sorting mechanism 210. For example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the support body 110 can be a frame composed of multiple plates or profiles, and the lower part of the support body 110 can be used to fix multiple solenoid valves of the sorting mechanism 210. Figure 1As shown, the support body 110 can be a cubic frame. The bottom of the support body 110 can also have a base for fixing the support body 110 to the ground. The base can be composed of multiple strips of plates or profiles, or it can be made of a single large plate, allowing for a larger contact area between the base and the ground, ensuring the stability of the support body 110 and improving the overall stability of the support frame during operation and installation. The support body 110 can be equipped with multiple vertically arranged support columns, the bottom of which can be fixedly connected to the base to ensure the stability of the support body 110. The support columns can be fixedly connected for installation.

[0025] Junction box 120, mounted on bracket body 110 and located to the side of sorting mechanism 210, is used to convert the power lines from multiple solenoid valves into cables. For example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the junction box 120 can be installed on the side wall of the bracket body 110, with both sides of the junction box 120 fixed to two vertically arranged support columns of the bracket body 110 to ensure the installation stability of the junction box 120. Multiple power lines from various solenoid valves can be converted through the junction box 120, converging into one or more multi-core cables. The number of cables is much smaller than the number of power lines, simplifying the wiring of the sorting mechanism 210, reducing the volume and number of cables, saving space, and making the wiring concise and clear, facilitating routing within the second housing 140. The side wall or bottom of the junction box 120 can have through holes for cables or power lines to pass through, facilitating wiring. Power lines can enter the junction box 120 from the bottom. After being converted into multi-core cables inside the junction box 120, multiple power lines can exit from the top of the junction box 120 or the top of the side wall of the junction box 120. The lower sidewall of the junction box 120 may be at a certain distance from the ground or from the base of the bracket body 110 to facilitate the installation of the first housing 130. The first housing 130 protects the power cord and allows the power cord to pass through the first housing 130 and enter the junction box 120 from the bottom. The first sidewall of the junction box 120 may be fixedly connected to one support column of the bracket body 110. The lower part of the second sidewall of the junction box 120, opposite to the first sidewall, may extend away from the first sidewall and be fixedly connected to another support column of the bracket body 110. There is a certain gap between the upper part of the second sidewall and the other support column of the bracket body 110, which can be used to install the second housing 140.

[0026] Furthermore, multiple junction boxes 120 can be provided, with junction boxes 120 installed on both sides of the sorting mechanism 210 to facilitate the branching of the solenoid valve power lines. Each junction box 120 can be equipped with a first housing 130 and a second housing 140. The power lines of multiple solenoid valves pass through the first housings 130 on both sides and are connected to the junction boxes 120 on both sides. The multiple junction boxes 120 respectively transfer the power lines of the solenoid valves connected therein, ensuring that each junction box 120 leads out at least one cable, and that the cable leading out of each junction box 120 passes through its corresponding second housing 140 to protect the cable. The junction boxes 120 have a waterproof and dustproof rating of IP65 or higher, providing good waterproof and dustproof performance and ensuring the operational safety of the junction boxes 120. Since the power lines and cable adapters are easily affected by external impurities, leading to cable failure, the waterproof and dustproof functions of the power lines and cable adapters are crucial and directly affect the normal operation of the solenoid valves. By using the junction box 120, the connection points of the power cord and cable can be sealed, thereby effectively protecting the connection points of the power cord and cable and preventing water and dust from entering the connection points and affecting the operation of the solenoid valve. Therefore, the junction box 120 can effectively improve the operational safety and stability of the solenoid valve.

[0027] The first housing 130 is connected at one end to the sorting mechanism 210 and at the other end to the junction box 120. A cavity for the power cord to pass through is formed inside the first housing 130. Alternatively, the first housing 130 may have a cavity for the power cord to pass through, or it may have a groove for mounting the power cord to guide its extension. Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, one end of the first housing 130 can be connected to the sorting mechanism 210, allowing the power cord from the solenoid valve in the sorting mechanism 210 to enter the first housing 130. The first housing 130 protects the power cord from damage caused by external water, dust, or other impurities. The first housing 130 can be located below the sorting mechanism 210, allowing the power cord to exit from the lower part of the sorting mechanism 210, enter the first housing 130, and then be guided through the first housing 130 to the junction box 120. Alternatively, one end of the first housing 130 can be connected to the lower part of the junction box 120, allowing the power cord to pass through the first housing 130 and enter the junction box 120 from the lower part.

[0028] The second housing 140 is connected at one end to the junction box 120, and an internal cavity is formed for cables to pass through. The second housing 140 can be used to receive the converted cables led out from the junction box 120. Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the interior of the second housing 140 may have a cavity for cables to pass through, or a cable tray for cable installation, to guide the cable's extension direction. One end of the second housing 140 may be connected to the junction box 120, allowing cables that have completed the transfer in the junction box 120 to pass through the junction box 120 and into the second housing 140. The second housing 140 protects the cables, preventing external water, dust, or other impurities from entering and damaging them. The second housing 140 may be located to the side of the junction box 120, allowing cables in the junction box 120 to pass through the upper part of the side wall of the junction box 120 and enter the second housing 140.

[0029] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the power cord can enter the junction box 120 from the lower part, and the junction box 120 converts the power cord into a multi-core cable. The cable then exits outward from the upper part of the side wall of the junction box 120 and enters the second housing 140. The sorting mechanism 210 may also include a control box for controlling the solenoid valve. The multi-core cable obtained after conversion through the junction box 120 can exit through the second housing 140 and finally connect to the control box.

[0030] According to the support frame provided in this embodiment, the sorting mechanism 210 can be stably installed through the support body 110, and the support frame can be firmly fixed to the ground, effectively improving the stability and vibration resistance of the sorting mechanism 210 during installation, thereby ensuring that the sorting equipment is not prone to displacement or loosening during operation. The junction box 120 converts the power lines of multiple solenoid valves into multi-core cables, facilitating cable routing, making the cables neater, reducing the space occupied by the solenoid valve power lines, thus optimizing the wiring of the sorting equipment, reducing the installation difficulty of the mounting frame and the sorting mechanism 210, and saving space occupied by the sorting equipment. The first housing 130 and the second housing 140 respectively protect the unconnected power cord and the connected cable, preventing external impurities such as water and slag from entering the first housing 130, the second housing 140 and the junction box 120. This avoids damage to the power cord or cable caused by these environmental factors, ensuring good sealing of the first housing 130, the second housing 140 and the junction box 120, ensuring neat wiring of the sorting equipment, effectively protecting the power cord of the solenoid valve and the safety of the connected cable, ensuring waterproof and dustproof connection at the joint, ensuring the safe operation of the solenoid valve, and thus improving the operational safety of the sorting equipment.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the first housing 130 may include: a first wire-passing housing 131 and a second wire-passing housing 132.

[0032] The first cable guide housing 131 has a first cable inlet 1311 at its top for connection to the sorting mechanism 210, and a first cable outlet 1312 on its lower outer side. The first cable guide housing 131 is used to accommodate power cables led out from multiple solenoid valves and guide the power cables outwards. Figure 3 As shown, the first cable guide housing 131 can be a hollow housing with both ends connected. A first cable inlet 1311 can be formed at the top of the first cable guide housing 131. The first cable inlet 1311 can be connected to the lower part of the sorting mechanism 210, allowing the power cable led from the solenoid valve in the sorting mechanism 210 to extend downwards and enter the first cable guide housing 131 through the first cable inlet 1311. Specifically, the sorting mechanism 210 can include a valve plate for mounting the solenoid valve. The top of the first cable guide housing 131 can be fixedly connected to the valve plate, minimizing the gap between the first cable guide housing 131 and the sorting mechanism 210, or achieving a seamless connection through integral molding. This allows the first cable guide housing 131 to protect its internal power cable, preventing external water and slag from entering the first cable guide housing 131 through the gap between it and the sorting mechanism 210. This effectively prevents damage to the power cable and solenoid valve, ensuring the operational safety of the sorting mechanism 210 and further guaranteeing the safety of the sorting equipment. A first cable outlet 1312 may be provided on the outer side of the lower part of the first cable housing 131, allowing the power cable to pass through the first cable outlet 1312. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the first cable housing 131 can also be L-shaped, so that the outer side of the lower part of the first cable housing 131 extends outward to form a first cable outlet 1312. The first cable outlet 1312 can be connected to the second cable housing 132, so that the power cable in the first cable housing 131 can pass out through the first cable outlet 1312 and enter the second cable housing 132.

[0033] The second cable guide housing 132 has a second cable inlet 1321 formed on its lower inner side, communicating with the first cable outlet 1312, and a second cable outlet 1322 formed on its top, communicating with the junction box 120. The second cable guide housing 132 is used to accommodate the power cable led out from the first cable guide housing 131 and guide the power cable from below the junction box 120 into the junction box 120. Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the second cable guide housing 132 can be a hollow housing with both ends connected. A second cable inlet 1321 can be formed on the lower inner side of the second cable guide housing 132. The second cable inlet 1321 can be connected to the first cable outlet 1312, allowing the power cable inside the first cable guide housing 131 to pass through the first cable outlet 1312 and enter the second cable guide housing 132. The second cable guide housing 132 can be fixedly connected to the first cable guide housing 131, with a small gap or seamless connection achieved through integral molding. This allows the second cable guide housing 132 to protect its internal power cable, preventing external water and soil from entering the first and second cable guide housings 131 through the gap between them. This effectively prevents damage to the solenoid valve caused by power cable damage, ensuring the operational safety of the sorting mechanism 210 and further guaranteeing the safety of the sorting equipment. Figure 4 As shown, the second cable tray 132 may have a second cable outlet 1322, located at the top of the cable tray 132. The second cable outlet 1322 can be connected to the bottom of the junction box 120, so that the second cable tray 132 is connected to the junction box 120, and the power cable can pass out from the second cable outlet 1322 and enter the junction box 120.

[0034] According to the support frame provided in this embodiment, the first cable guide housing 131 and the second cable guide housing 132 effectively guide and protect the power cable. The fixed connection between the first cable guide housing 131 and the sorting mechanism 210 minimizes the joint or achieves a seamless connection, effectively preventing impurities such as water and slag from entering the sorting mechanism 210 through the gap between the first cable guide housing 131 and the sorting mechanism 210, thereby protecting the power cable from external damage and reducing the risk of the solenoid valve failing due to power cable damage. The connection between the second cable guide housing 132 and the first cable guide housing 131, and the connection between the second cable guide housing 132 and the junction box 120, prevents external water, dust, and slag from entering the interior of the second cable guide housing 132 or the junction box 120 through the interface, thus ensuring the safety of the power cable throughout the transmission path. The first and second cable guide housings 131 and 132 allow the power cable to pass through the lower part of the sorting mechanism 210, along the first and second cable guide housings 131 and 132, and into the junction box 120 from the bottom. This makes the power cable routing more rational and effectively saves cable routing space. The first and second cable guide housings 131 and 132 also effectively protect the power cable during its journey from the sorting mechanism 210 to the junction box 120, preventing damage caused by environmental factors and reducing the risk of solenoid valve damage. This further ensures the overall safety and reliability of the sorting equipment.

[0035] In some embodiments, wherein, as Figure 5As shown, junction box 120 may include a first connector 121 and a second connector 122.

[0036] Multiple first connectors 121 are disposed at the bottom of the junction box 120 for the passage of power cords. The first connectors 121 can be located at the bottom of the junction box 120, allowing the power cord to pass through the first connectors 121 and enter the junction box 120. The first connectors 121 can be sealing connectors, ensuring that when no power cord passes through them, the first connector 121 remains sealed, preventing external water, dirt, and other impurities from entering the junction box 120, thus ensuring better waterproof and dustproof performance and sealing. When a power cord passes through the first connector 121, the inner wall of the first connector 121 fits snugly against the periphery of the power cord, ensuring a tight connection between the first connector 121 and the power cord, further guaranteeing good sealing even when a power cord passes through the first connector 121. Multiple first connectors 121 can be provided, the number of which can be determined according to the number of solenoid valves, so that the power cord of each solenoid valve is connected to one first connector 121.

[0037] One or more second connectors 122 are disposed on the side wall of the junction box 120 for cables to pass through. The second connectors 122 can be disposed on the side wall of the junction box 120, allowing cables formed by multiple power lines within the junction box 120 to pass through the second connectors 122 and exit outside the junction box 120, entering the second housing 140. The second connectors 122 can be sealing connectors, ensuring that when no power line passes through the second connectors 122, the second connectors 122 are sealed, preventing external water, dirt, and other impurities from entering the junction box 120 through the second connectors 122, thus ensuring better waterproof and dustproof performance and sealing of the junction box 120. When a cable passes through the second connectors 122, the inner side wall of the second connectors 122 fits snugly against the periphery of the cable, ensuring a tight connection between the second connectors 122 and the cable, further guaranteeing good sealing of the junction box 120 even when a cable passes through the second connectors 122. The number of second connectors 122 can be determined according to the number of cables transferred out of junction box 120, so that each cable is connected to one second connector 122.

[0038] According to the support frame provided in this embodiment, the first connector 121 located at the bottom of the junction box 120 effectively prevents external impurities such as water and slag from entering the interior of the junction box 120, regardless of whether the power cord passes through the first connector 121. Similarly, the second connector 122 located on the side wall of the junction box 120 effectively prevents external impurities such as water and slag from entering the interior of the junction box 120, thereby improving the waterproof and dustproof performance of the sorting equipment and enhancing its safety. By providing multiple first connectors 121, the power cord of each solenoid valve can independently enter the junction box 120 through a single connector, ensuring tight connections and a reasonable distribution of the lines. The multi-core cable formed by the power cord conversion inside the junction box 120 can be smoothly guided to the second housing 140 through the second connector 122, achieving continuous protection and integrated wiring. This makes the wiring of the sorting equipment clear, reasonable, and neater, preventing damage caused by multiple power cords tangling together and ensuring the safe operation of the sorting equipment.

[0039] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the support frame may further include: a top plate 150, disposed on the top of the support body 110, with its bottom surface connected to the top of the second housing 140. The top plate 150 is provided with a through-plate sleeve 151 for cables to pass through the through-plate sleeve 151 and through the top plate 150. Since the support frame may be installed underground to facilitate direct separation and sorting of the collected ore, maintenance personnel can walk and work on the top plate 150 when the sorting equipment needs maintenance. Therefore, the top plate 150 can be made of a high-strength material, such as a plate made of the same material as the support body 110, to ensure sufficient strength support. During the maintenance personnel's walking and working on the top plate 150, to ensure that the top plate 150 is subjected to uniform force and to ensure the safety of the top plate 150, the top of the support body 110 can be provided with multiple mounting parts for installing the top plates 150, with multiple top plates 150, each correspondingly installed on the top of the support body 110. A cable pass-through sleeve 151 can be installed on the top plate 150. The cable pass-through sleeve 151 has good sealing performance. When no cable passes through, the cable pass-through sleeve 151 is in a sealed state, preventing external water, dirt, and other impurities from entering the second housing 140 below the cable pass-through sleeve 151. This ensures better waterproof and dustproof performance and sealing of the support frame. When a cable passes through the cable pass-through sleeve 151, the inner wall of the cable pass-through sleeve 151 can fit tightly against the periphery of the cable, further ensuring good sealing performance even when a cable passes through the cable pass-through sleeve 151. The cable pass-through sleeve 151 can be made of rubber or plastic to effectively protect the cable, providing good safety when the cable passes through the cable pass-through sleeve 151 and preventing scratches or abrasions that could lead to short circuits or cable damage, thus affecting the operation of the solenoid valve.

[0040] The top plate 150 provided in this embodiment has high structural strength and stability. When maintenance personnel walk on the top plate 150, it can withstand the load and distribute the force evenly, ensuring high load-bearing capacity and guaranteeing the safety of the sorting equipment. The through-plate sleeve 151, made of flexible materials such as rubber or plastic, installed on the top plate 150, has good wear resistance and scratch resistance, effectively preventing cable damage due to friction when passing through the top plate 150, reducing the risk of short circuits or cable damage. Furthermore, while protecting the cables, the through-plate sleeve 151, with its good sealing properties, prevents external water or debris from entering the second housing 140, improving the sealing of the second housing 140 of the support frame, providing better waterproof and dustproof performance, and further reducing the risk of short circuits or cable damage.

[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, the second housing 140 may include: a box 141 located on the upper part of the second housing 140 and disposed below the through-plate sleeve 151. The top of the box 141 is connected to the bottom surface of the top plate 150. The box 141 is used to accommodate cables and allow the cables to pass through the through-plate sleeve 151 and through the top plate 150. The box 141 may be located on the upper part of the second housing 140 for connection to the bottom surface of the top plate 150. The dimensions of the box 141 may be larger than the dimensions of the lower part of the second housing 140, allowing for a larger space within the box 141 to accommodate cables. Figure 3 As shown, the housing 141 can be positioned below the through-plate sleeve 151, allowing the cables inside the housing 141 to pass through the through-plate sleeve 151 and reach the top plate 150. The top of the housing 141 can be connected to the bottom of the top plate 150, minimizing the gap between the top of the housing 141 and the bottom of the top plate 150. Alternatively, a seamless connection between the housing 141 and the top plate 150 can be achieved through welding, integral molding, or other methods. This allows the third cable housing 142 to protect the cables inside, preventing external water and debris from entering the third cable housing 142 or the junction box 120 through the gap between the third cable housing 142 and the junction box 120. This effectively prevents damage to cables and solenoid valves, ensuring the operational safety of the sorting mechanism 210 and further guaranteeing the safety of the sorting equipment.

[0042] In some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the second housing 140 also includes a third wiring housing 142 and a fourth wiring housing 143.

[0043] The third cable tray 142 is located on the side of the junction box 120. Its lower part has a third cable inlet 1421 connected to the junction box 120. The upper inner side of the third cable tray 142 has a third cable outlet 1422. The third cable tray 142 is used to accommodate cables leading out from the junction box 120 and guide the cables to extend inwards. Figure 2 As shown, the third cable tray housing 142 can be disposed on the side of the junction box 120, at least so that the lower part of the third cable tray housing 142 is located on the side of the junction box 120. The third cable tray housing 142 can be a hollow housing with both ends connected, such as... Figure 4As shown, a third cable inlet 1421 may be formed in the lower part of the third cable housing 142, located in the lower part of the side wall of the third cable housing 142. The third cable housing 142 can be connected to the side wall of the junction box 120, and the third cable inlet 1421 can be connected to the junction box 120, so that the cable led out from the side wall of the junction box 120 enters the third cable housing 142 through the third cable inlet 1421 and extends upward along the third cable housing 142. Specifically, the lower side wall of the third cable tray housing 142 can be fixedly connected to the junction box 120, minimizing the gap between the third cable tray housing 142 and the junction box 120 or achieving a seamless connection through welding or other methods. This allows the third cable tray housing 142 to protect the cables inside, preventing external water and debris from entering the third cable tray housing 142 or the junction box 120 through the gap between them. This effectively prevents damage to the cables and solenoid valves, ensuring the operational safety of the sorting mechanism 210 and further guaranteeing the safety of the sorting equipment. A third cable outlet 1422 can be provided on the upper side wall of the third cable tray housing 142, allowing the cable to pass through the third cable outlet 1422 and enter the fourth cable tray housing 143.

[0044] The fourth cable guide housing 143 has a fourth cable inlet 1431 formed on its lower outer side, which communicates with the third cable outlet 1422. The top of the fourth cable guide housing 143 has a fourth cable outlet 1432, which communicates with the housing 141. The fourth cable guide housing 143 is used to accommodate the cable led out from the third cable guide housing 142 and guide the cable into the housing 141. Figure 4As shown, the fourth cable housing 143 can be a hollow housing with both ends connected. A fourth cable inlet 1431 can be formed on the lower outer wall of the fourth cable housing 143. The fourth cable inlet 1431 of the fourth cable housing 143 can be connected to the third cable outlet 1422 of the third cable housing 142, so that the cable led out from the third cable housing 142 enters the fourth cable housing 143 through the third cable outlet 1422 and the fourth cable inlet 1431, and extends along the fourth cable housing 143 toward the inside of the support body 110 and upward, so as to guide the cable into the box 141 located on the upper part of the support frame and pass through the top plate 150. Specifically, the lower side wall of the fourth cable guide housing 143 can be fixedly connected to the third cable guide housing 142, making the connection gap between the third cable guide housing 142 and the fourth cable guide housing 143 small, or achieving a seamless connection through welding, integral molding, or other methods. This allows the fourth cable guide housing 143 to protect the cables inside, thereby preventing external water and soil from entering the third cable guide housing 142 or the fourth cable guide housing 143 through the gap between the fourth cable guide housing 143 and the third cable guide housing 142. This effectively prevents damage to cables and solenoid valves, ensuring the operational safety of the sorting mechanism 210, and further ensuring the safety of the sorting equipment. The top of the fourth cable guide housing 143 can have a fourth cable outlet 1432. The fourth cable guide housing 143 can be connected to the housing 141, so that the fourth cable outlet 1432 is connected to the bottom of the housing 141, allowing the cable to pass through the fourth cable outlet 1432 and enter the housing 141.

[0045] The support frame provided in this embodiment, through the setting of the third cable guide housing 142 and the fourth cable guide housing 143, forms a continuous sealed transmission channel from the side wall of the junction box 120 to the box 141. This effectively prevents external moisture, slag, and other impurities from entering the interior through the various connection points, effectively improving the waterproof and dustproof performance of the second housing 140. It has good sealing performance, can protect the cables, and reduce the risk of damage to the solenoid valve or cables due to environmental factors. The third cable guide housing 142 introduces the cable from the side wall of the junction box 120 and introduces the cable into the fourth cable guide housing 143 through the third cable outlet 1422. The fourth cable guide housing 143 then guides the cable along the inside of the support frame to the box 141, realizing the orderly arrangement and reasonable integration of the cables. This makes the cable routing of the sorting equipment more reasonable and neat, avoiding situations such as the cables being damaged or cut under external forces. In the case of multiple cables, it avoids the cables from tangling together, which could lead to short circuits or failures, thus improving the safety of the sorting equipment.

[0046] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the support frame may further include a cable tray 160, located on the upper part of the support frame, which is a hollow shell used to accommodate cables passing through the second shell 140 and guide the cables to the control box of the sorting mechanism 210. The cable tray 160 can be located on the upper part of the support frame and can be a central control shell, internally used to accommodate cables passing through the second shell 140. After passing through the second shell 140, the cables can directly enter the cable tray 160. When the support frame is equipped with a top plate 150, after the cable tray 160 passes through the second shell 140, it passes through a through-plate sleeve 151 provided on the top plate 150, allowing the cables to reach the top of the top plate 150 and enter the cable tray 160. The cable tray 160 effectively protects the cables and makes the cable layout and routing more reasonable and neat. In the case of multiple cables, it avoids the cables from becoming tangled and causing damage or failure, and prevents the cables from being trampled or crushed, making the cables safer. The cable tray 160 can extend towards the control box of the sorting mechanism 210, thereby effectively guiding cables to connect to the control box located away from the equipment. Furthermore, since maintenance personnel need to walk on the top plate 150 during maintenance of the support frame, cables exposed on the top plate 150 are easily squeezed or damaged by external forces, and can easily obstruct personnel movement. Working at the top is considered high-altitude work, and exposed cables pose a safety hazard to workers, potentially leading to tripping, slipping, or even falls. Therefore, by installing the cable tray 160, the safety of workers can be effectively protected. The cable tray 160 effectively protects the cables from external pressure or damage from being stepped on by maintenance personnel, while also ensuring the safety of maintenance personnel by preventing them from tripping over exposed cables. Thus, the cable tray 160 provided in this embodiment effectively protects the cables passing through the second housing 140, preventing external water or debris from entering the cable tray 160 and damaging the cables. Meanwhile, the cable tray 160 can guide multiple cables to the control box of the sorting mechanism 210 in a reasonable manner, avoiding cable tangling and messy arrangement, and effectively preventing mutual interference between cables. The cable tray 160 can protect the cables from compression, friction or damage caused by external forces, which can effectively improve the safety of the cables, thereby further improving the safety of the sorting equipment.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the support frame may further include a slag chute 170, which is inclined and installed on the top of the junction box 120 to allow impurities falling onto the top of the junction box 120 to slide down along the slag chute 170. An inclined slag chute 170 can be installed on the top of the junction box 120. Since the top of the junction box 120 housing 141 is flat, during the operation of the sorting equipment, external water, dust, and slag raised during the sorting process can easily fall onto the top of the junction box 120. These impurities can easily enter the junction box 120 through the gaps at the top, causing aging or wear of the power cords and cables inside the junction box 120, resulting in damage to the cables and power cords and affecting the operation of the sorting equipment. Therefore, an inclined slag chute 170 can be installed on the top of the junction box 120 to allow water or slag and other impurities to fall onto the slag chute 170 and slide down along it. By installing a slag chute 170 on top of the junction box 120, water or slag and other impurities can be effectively prevented from accumulating on top of the junction box 120, thus effectively achieving waterproofing and dustproofing and improving the safety of the junction box 120. The slag chute 170 provided in this embodiment can effectively prevent power lines and cables from failing due to water or slag, affecting the operation of the sorting equipment. This further improves the operational stability of the sorting equipment and provides higher safety.

[0048] Based on the same inventive concept, such as Figure 2 As shown, this disclosure also provides a sorting device, which may include: a support frame and a sorting mechanism 210.

[0049] The support frame is as described in any of the preceding embodiments. The support frame can be used to mount the sorting mechanism 210, thereby supporting the sorting mechanism 210 and ensuring its installation stability. Simultaneously, the first housing 130 within the support frame can protect the power cord and other wiring of the sorting mechanism 210, preventing damage that could affect its operation and ensuring the safety of the sorting mechanism 210 during the sorting process.

[0050] The sorting mechanism 210 includes multiple solenoid valves. The sorting mechanism 210 is mounted on a support frame, and the power lines of the solenoid valves pass through the first housing 130, junction box 120, and second housing 140 of the support frame. The sorting mechanism 210 can drive a push plate to rotate via the solenoid valves, thereby striking the material to achieve material sorting. The sorting mechanism 210 can also drive a nozzle to spray gas via the solenoid valves, thereby blowing away the material to achieve material sorting. The sorting mechanism 210 may include multiple solenoid valves, each of which can drive a corresponding push plate or nozzle to perform a sorting operation. The sorting mechanism 210 can be mounted on the support frame, fixing the solenoid valves to the support frame, and allowing the power lines of the solenoid valves to pass through the first housing 130 of the support frame, be converted into cables via the junction box 120, and then pass through the second housing 140.

[0051] The sorting equipment provided in this embodiment can support the sorting mechanism 210 with a support frame, achieving stable installation, reducing vibration during operation, and effectively improving the stability of the sorting equipment. The first housing 130, junction box 120, and second housing 140 protect the solenoid valve wiring, effectively preventing aging of the solenoid valve power cord or connecting cables due to external impurities, thus avoiding abnormal shutdown or malfunction of the sorting equipment caused by aging wiring. The sorting equipment in this embodiment has high waterproof and dustproof performance for its wiring, ensuring that the sorting equipment is unaffected by water or dust during sorting operations, effectively guaranteeing sorting stability. Furthermore, the overall sorting equipment has strong anti-interference capabilities during material sorting, maintaining high sorting accuracy even in harsh environments, while also offering high safety and stability.

[0052] In some embodiments, the sorting mechanism 210 may include a valve plate and / or a control box.

[0053] A valve plate, mounted on a support frame, is used to mount multiple solenoid valves. Since the sorting mechanism 210 can include multiple solenoid valves, each of which can drive a push plate or nozzle to perform a sorting operation, a valve plate can be provided to mount multiple solenoid valves. The valve plate is then fixedly mounted on the support frame, ensuring stable installation of the solenoid valves and guaranteeing their stability during the sorting operation. This prevents the solenoid valves from slipping or falling off and affecting the operation of the sorting equipment.

[0054] The control box, connected to the solenoid valve via a power cord, is used to control the operation and stop of the solenoid valve. The sorting mechanism 210 may also include a control box for controlling the solenoid valve and other related components. The power cord of the solenoid valve can be connected to the control box, allowing precise control of its operation and stop. For ore sorting equipment, to ensure the safe operation of the control box, it is generally located far from the mine, while the solenoid valve, push plate, or nozzle performing the sorting needs to be installed in the mine for timely ore sorting. Therefore, a support frame can be installed in the mine, and the solenoid valve can be installed on the support frame for sorting operations, while the control box is located outside the mine. The structure of the support frame allows the power cord of the solenoid valve to be guided to the control box. Specifically, the first housing 130 of the support frame protects the power cord of the solenoid valve and guides it into the junction box 120. The junction box 120 converts the power cord into one or more multi-core cables, which are then placed into the second housing 140 for cable protection. In some embodiments, a cable tray 160 may be provided on the upper part of the support frame. One end of the cable tray 160 may be connected to the control box. The cable passing through the second housing 140 may enter the cable tray 160 and enter the control box along the cable tray 160 to connect with the control box, thereby enabling the control box to remotely control the solenoid valve while ensuring the safety of the cable.

[0055] According to the sorting mechanism 210 provided in this embodiment, by setting a valve plate, multiple solenoid valves can be arranged in a certain way and fixedly installed on the support frame to ensure that the solenoid valves do not slip or fall during the sorting operation, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the sorting operation. By setting a control box and connecting it to the solenoid valves through power lines, precise control of the start-up, stop, and working status of the solenoid valves can be achieved, ensuring the response speed and accuracy of the sorting equipment. By setting the control box outside the mine, the power lines of the solenoid valves are guided to the control box through the support frame and its internal cable protection structures such as the first housing 130 and the second housing 140, so that the sorting mechanism 210 can effectively isolate the control box from the interference of the complex on-site environment during the sorting operation, reducing the risk of equipment failure caused by environmental factors. While the sorting mechanism 210 is partially located underground to perform sorting tasks, remote monitoring and control can be achieved through the control box located outside the mine, improving the safety of the sorting equipment.
