Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of material sorting devices, specifically relating to an automatic sorting mechanism for testing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the current field of automated production and inspection, a crucial step to ensure products meet factory quality standards is rigorous quality inspection of finished workpieces. Existing technologies typically employ robotic arms or grippers to classify and sort inspected finished workpieces. These devices, through precise programming control, can identify and grasp materials on the production line and classify them into different areas according to preset standards.

[0003] While this method meets basic operational needs to some extent, it has also revealed some significant drawbacks in practical applications. The entire process of a robotic arm or gripper picking up a workpiece and placing it in the designated location involves multiple steps, such as positioning, gripping, moving, and releasing. Each step requires a certain amount of time to complete, and this time consumption increases significantly, especially under high-precision operation requirements, thus severely impacting the overall sorting process speed. Furthermore, the complex mechanical structure not only increases the failure rate and maintenance needs, but frequent repairs and maintenance not only increase operating costs but may also lead to production line downtime, affecting the smooth execution of production plans. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is: to propose an automatic sorting mechanism for testing equipment, which can automatically guide materials to the first or second material channel according to preset sorting conditions by switching the material sorting plate between the first and second material sorting positions; this sorting method avoids operation steps such as positioning, gripping, moving and releasing, and effectively reduces the processing time of each material.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is to propose an automatic sorting mechanism for testing equipment, including...

[0006] The collection platform has a first material channel and a second material channel arranged in layers, with the first material channel located above the second material channel;

[0007] The material distribution plate is movably disposed at the feeding end of the collection platform and is movably flush with both the first material channel and the second material channel. The material distribution plate has a first material distribution position and a second material distribution position.

[0008] When the material distribution plate is in the first material distribution position, the material distribution plate is flush with the first material channel and is used to guide the material into the first material channel;

[0009] When the material distribution plate is in the second material distribution position, the material distribution plate is flush with the second material channel and is used to guide the material into the second material channel.

[0010] The aforementioned automatic sorting mechanism for testing equipment also includes a support frame, with one end of the sorting plate hinged to the support frame.

[0011] In the above-mentioned automatic sorting mechanism for testing equipment, a driving component is also provided on the support frame. The driving component is located below the sorting plate, and the output end of the driving component is connected to the sorting plate in a transmission manner. The driving component is used to drive the sorting plate to switch between the first sorting position and the second sorting position.

[0012] In the above-mentioned automatic sorting mechanism for testing equipment, the output end of the driving member is provided with a push rod, and the end of the push rod away from the driving member is connected to the sorting plate. The sorting plate can rotate relative to the support frame around the hinge axis due to the driving member driving the push rod to rise and fall.

[0013] In the above-mentioned automatic sorting mechanism for testing equipment, a first support plate and a second support plate are inclinedly arranged on the collection platform. The first support plate is provided with at least two first material channels arranged in parallel, and the second support plate is provided with at least two second material channels arranged in parallel. The number of second material channels and first material channels is the same, and they correspond one-to-one in the vertical direction.

[0014] In the above-mentioned automatic sorting mechanism for testing equipment, the first material channel is defined by two opposing first slide rails, and the second material channel is defined by two opposing second slide rails.

[0015] In the above-mentioned automatic sorting mechanism for testing equipment, a detection component is also provided on the collection platform. The detection component is located above the first material channel and is used to detect whether the first material channel and the second material channel are fully loaded.

[0016] In the above-mentioned automatic sorting mechanism for testing equipment, a support block is provided on the first support plate, and the testing component is disposed on the support block, the support block being used to provide support for the testing component.

[0017] In the above-mentioned automatic sorting mechanism for a testing device, the support block is provided with a first hollow portion, the first support plate is provided with a second hollow portion, the sensing end of the testing element detects the material on the first material channel through the first hollow portion, and the sensing end of the testing element passes through the first hollow portion and the second hollow portion in sequence to detect the material in the second material channel.

[0018] In the above-mentioned automatic sorting mechanism for testing equipment, a connecting block is also provided on the collection platform. One side of the connecting block is fixed on the collection platform, and the other side is threadedly connected to the first support plate. The connecting block is used to connect the first support plate to the collection platform.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] (1) By switching the sorting plate between the first sorting position and the second sorting position, the material can be automatically guided to the first or second material channel according to the preset sorting conditions. This sorting method does not require additional gripping or handling equipment, thus achieving efficient material classification and conveying, avoiding operation steps such as positioning, gripping, moving and releasing, and effectively reducing the processing time of each material.

[0021] (2) The first support plate and the second support plate are inclined on the collection platform so that the material can slide along the first material channel and the second material channel under the action of gravity without the need for additional driving equipment. This simplifies the overall structure of the automatic sorting mechanism, reduces the failure rate, and reduces the need for daily maintenance, thereby reducing the operating and maintenance costs.

[0022] (3) The first support plate is provided with at least two parallel first material channels, and the second support plate is provided with the same number of second material channels. The second material channels and the first material channels correspond one-to-one in the vertical direction. When at least one of the corresponding first material channels and second material channels in a certain group is full, the material can be moved horizontally to the corresponding position of the corresponding first material channels and second material channels in another group that are not full, or the other corresponding first material channels and second material channels that are not full can be moved to the position corresponding to the material by moving the collection platform, thereby ensuring the continuity of the sorting process.

[0024] In the diagram, 1 is the collection platform; 2 is the first material channel; 3 is the second material channel; 4 is the material distribution plate; 5 is the support frame; 6 is the driving component; 7 is the push rod; 8 is the first support plate; 9 is the second support plate; 10 is the first slide rail; 11 is the second slide rail; 12 is the detection component; 13 is the support block; 14 is the second hollow part; and 15 is the connecting block. Detailed Implementation

[0025] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, this solution provides an automatic sorting mechanism for a testing device, comprising: a collection platform 1 having a first material channel 2 and a second material channel 3 arranged in layers, the first material channel 2 being located above the second material channel 3; and a separating plate 4 movably disposed at the feeding end of the collection platform 1, and movably flush with both the first material channel 2 and the second material channel 3, the separating plate 4 having a first separating position and a second separating position; when the separating plate 4 is in the first separating position, the separating plate 4 is flush with the first material channel 2, used to guide the material into the first material channel 2; when the separating plate 4 is in the second separating position, the separating plate 4 is flush with the second material channel 3, used to guide the material into the second material channel 3.

[0028] During the material sorting process, when the sorting plate 4 is in the first sorting position, it is flush with the first material channel 2, and the material slides down along the sorting plate 4 to the first material channel 2. When the sorting plate 4 is in the second sorting position, the material slides down along the sorting plate 4 to the second material channel 3. Based on preset sorting conditions, the material can be automatically diverted to either the first material channel 2 or the second material channel 3. This method of material sorting eliminates the need for additional gripping or handling devices, achieving efficient material classification and conveying. Compared to traditional sorting methods that rely on complex mechanical structures, this solution has significant advantages. It eliminates the need for grabbing, moving, and releasing operations, shortening the processing cycle of a single material. By switching the material distribution plate 4 between the first and second distribution positions, materials can be directly guided to the corresponding first material channel 2 or second material channel 3, significantly reducing the ineffective time and energy consumption during the sorting process and effectively improving the operating efficiency of the entire sorting line. The overall structure is simple and compact with fewer moving parts, which not only reduces the failure rate but also reduces the frequency of daily maintenance. Ultimately, it achieves lower operating and maintenance costs and is suitable for the high-speed, continuous production needs of modern intelligent manufacturing environments.

[0029] Preferably, the automatic sorting mechanism in this solution also includes a support frame 5 for supporting and positioning the sorting plate 4. One end of the sorting plate 4 is connected to the support frame 5 by a hinge, and the other end can switch between the first sorting position and the second sorting position according to the sorting requirements, and remain flush with the first material channel 2 or the second material channel 3 respectively.

[0030] In order to drive the material distribution plate 4 to switch between the first material distribution position and the second material distribution position, a drive component 6 is also provided on the support frame 5. The drive component 6 is located below the material distribution plate 4 and is connected to the material distribution plate 4 through its output end.

[0031] The output end of the drive unit 6 is provided with a push rod 7, which is connected to the material distribution plate 4. When the drive unit 6 drives the push rod 7 to rise and fall in the vertical direction, the push rod 7 will cause the material distribution plate 4 to rotate relative to the support frame 5 around the hinge axis, thereby realizing the switching of the material distribution plate 4 between the first material distribution position and the second material distribution position.

[0032] During operation, the drive unit 6, according to the preset sorting conditions, drives the push rod 7 to rise and fall, causing the sorting plate 4 to rotate relative to the support frame 5 around the hinge point. In this way, the end of the sorting plate 4 away from the support frame 5 will be aligned with the first material channel 2 or the second material channel 3 in the vertical direction, so that the material slides into the corresponding material channel along the sorting plate 4, completing the classification and sorting of the material. The drive unit 6 can be a hydraulic cylinder, a pneumatic cylinder or a motor.

[0033] More preferably, a first support plate 8 and a second support plate 9 are inclinedly arranged on the collection platform 1. The first support plate 8 is provided with at least two first material channels 2 arranged in parallel, and the second support plate 9 is provided with at least two second material channels 3 arranged in parallel. The number of second material channels 3 and first material channels 2 are the same, and they correspond one-to-one in the vertical direction.

[0034] More preferably, the first material channel 2 is defined by two oppositely arranged first slide rails 10, and the second material channel 3 is defined by two oppositely arranged second slide rails 11.

[0035] When the material distribution plate 4 is in the first distribution position, the end of it away from the support frame 5 is flush with the feed end of the first material channel 2. Under the action of gravity, the material slides into the first material channel 2 along the material distribution plate 4 and continues to slide down along the first slide rail 10 on the first material channel 2 until the first material channel 2 is full. When the material distribution plate 4 is in the second distribution position, the end of it away from the support frame 5 is flush with the feed end of the second material channel 3. Under the action of gravity, the material slides into the second material channel 3 along the material distribution plate 4 and continues to slide down along the second slide rail 11 on the second material channel 3 until the second material channel 3 is full.

[0036] To achieve continuous sorting, the support frame 5 can be moved horizontally relative to the collection platform 1 by manual operation or automated equipment, thereby causing the sorting plate 4 and the driving component 6 to move synchronously. The sorting plate 4 can be displaced horizontally relative to the first material channel 2 and the second material channel 3. When at least one of the corresponding first material channels 2 and the second material channel 3 in a certain group is full, the sorting plate 4 can move horizontally to the position corresponding to the next unloaded corresponding first material channel 2 and the second material channel 3. Similarly, the collection platform 1 can also be moved horizontally relative to the sorting plate 4 by manual operation or automated equipment. When at least one of the corresponding first material channels 2 and the second material channel 3 in a certain group is full, the collection platform 1 begins to move horizontally until the other unloaded corresponding first material channels 2 and the second material channel 3 move to the position corresponding to the sorting plate 4 under the drive of the collection platform 1, thereby achieving continuous sorting.

[0037] To detect whether the first material channel 2 and the second material channel 3 are fully loaded, a detection element 12 is installed on the collection platform 1. The detection element 12 is located above the first material channel 2 and can detect the material status in the first material channel 2 and the corresponding second material channel 3 below it. The detection element 12 is preferably a photoelectric sensor.

[0038] To provide installation support for the test piece 12, a support block 13 is provided on the first support plate 8. Multiple test pieces 12 are installed on the support block 13. Each test piece 12 corresponds to a set of first material channels 2 and second material channels 3 arranged vertically, and is used to detect the full load status of the material in the first material channel 2 and the second material channel 3 respectively.

[0039] More preferably, the support block 13 is provided with a first hollow part, and the first support plate 8 is provided with a second hollow part 14. The sensing end of the detection element 12 can directly detect the material on the first material channel 2 through the first hollow part; it can also pass through the first hollow part and the second hollow part 14 in sequence to detect the material in the second material channel 3 located below it; when the detection element 12 detects that at least one of the first material channel 2 and the second material channel 3 arranged vertically are fully loaded, the material distribution plate 4 can be moved relative to the collection platform 1, or the collection platform 1 can be moved relative to the material distribution plate 4, until the material distribution plate 4 is located at the position corresponding to the unfilled first material channel 2 or the unfilled second material channel 3, thereby realizing continuous sorting and improving the intelligent level of automated sorting.

[0040] More preferably, the collection platform 1 is provided with a connecting block 15. One end of the connecting block 15 is fixed to the collection platform 1, and the other end is connected to the first support plate 8 through a threaded structure, thereby realizing the detachable installation of the first support plate 8. The setting of the connecting block 15 not only facilitates the installation and replacement of the first support plate 8, but also has the advantages of firm connection, simple structure and low manufacturing cost.
