Detailed Implementation

[0029] 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.

[0030] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention 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 indication will also change accordingly.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an automatic material dispensing structure for an automatic testing machine according to this utility model includes: a material dispensing seat 100 and a material dispensing plate 200.

[0032] Specifically, the material distribution seat 100 includes a first material channel 110 and a second material channel 120 arranged in layers. The inlet ends of the first material channel 110 and the second material channel 120 are connected to form a receiving space 130. This receiving space 130 is used to receive materials transported by other feeding mechanisms (such as conveyor belts). The material distribution plate 200 is movably disposed on the first material channel 110 and has a first material distribution position and a second material distribution position. When the material distribution plate 200 is in the first material distribution position, it guides the material into the first material channel 110 and blocks the connection between the receiving space 130 and the second material channel 120. When the material distribution plate 200 is in the second material distribution position, it blocks the connection between the receiving space 130 and the first material channel 110 and connects the receiving space 130 with the second material channel 120.

[0033] In one embodiment, the first feed channel 110 is used to guide qualified materials and the second feed channel 120 is used to guide unqualified materials; of course, in another embodiment, the first feed channel 110 can also be used to guide unqualified materials and the second feed channel 120 can be used to guide qualified materials as needed.

[0034] During operation, after the material is conveyed to the receiving space 130: if the material distribution plate 200 is in the first distribution position (see...) Figure 1 At this point, the material receiving space 130 and the second material channel 120 are blocked by the material distribution plate 200, and the material enters the first material channel 110; if the material distribution plate 200 switches to the second material distribution position (see... Figure 2 Then, the material distribution plate 200 blocks the channel between the receiving space 130 and the first material channel 110, and the material enters the second material channel 120, thereby realizing the separation of qualified and unqualified products in the material.

[0035] This design features a first material channel 110 and a second material channel 120 arranged in layers on the material distribution seat 100, connecting their inlet ends to form a unified receiving space 130. The structure is compact and rationally laid out. A movable material distribution plate 200 on the first material channel 110 allows for selective control of material flow. When the material distribution plate 200 is in different positions, it can guide materials into either the first material channel 110 or the second material channel 120, thus achieving automatic material distribution. This structure is flexible in operation and easy to switch between, improving material distribution efficiency and automation. It is suitable for material classification and inspection in continuous production and is simple in structure with low manufacturing costs.

[0036] It is worth mentioning that a rotating shaft 140 is rotatably mounted on the material distribution seat 100, and one end of the material distribution plate 200 is fixed on the rotating shaft 140. A first driving member 150 is provided on one side of the material distribution seat 100. The output end of the first driving member 150 is connected to the rotating shaft 140 through a connecting block 160, which is used to drive the material distribution plate 200 to switch between the first material distribution position and the second material distribution position.

[0037] Preferably, the first driving component 150 is a cylinder and is electrically connected to the detection mechanism of the automatic detection machine. Based on the detection results provided by the detection mechanism, the movement of the material distribution plate 200 is controlled, thereby enabling the material distribution plate 200 to switch between the first material distribution position and the second material distribution position, achieving the purpose of classifying materials.

[0038] In this design, the rotating shaft 140, in cooperation with the first driving component 150, drives the material distribution plate 200 to rotate, achieving automatic switching between two material distribution positions. This structure provides stable transmission and accurate operation, facilitating integration with a control system, improving the reliability and response speed of the material distribution process, reducing the need for manual intervention, and enhancing the overall intelligence level of the equipment.

[0039] This solution also includes a first receiving box 300, which is movably mounted on the material distribution seat 100 and connected to the second material channel 120.

[0040] The movable first receiving box 300 is connected to the second material channel 120, facilitating the replacement or removal of the receiving box for emptying or replacement as needed, thus improving operational convenience and work efficiency. At the same time, the movable connection method allows for adaptation to the use of receiving containers of different sizes, enhancing the equipment's applicability and flexibility.

[0041] In this scheme, the material distribution seat 100 is provided with a receiving cavity and an opening communicating with the receiving cavity. The second material channel 120 is communicating with the receiving cavity. The material distribution seat 100 also includes a base 170. The first receiving box 300 is movably disposed on the base 170 and can enter and exit the receiving cavity through the opening.

[0042] By incorporating a receiving cavity and opening structure, the first receiving box 300 can easily enter and exit the base 170, facilitating quick replacement. This design enhances the modularity of the equipment and improves the ease of replacing the first receiving box 300 during use, making it particularly suitable for scenarios involving multiple batches and high-frequency material collection.

[0043] Furthermore, a sensor 180 is provided on the material distribution seat 100, with the sensing end of the sensor 180 facing the first receiving box 300, for sensing whether the first receiving box 300 is full.

[0044] A sensor 180 is installed on the material distribution seat 100 to sense whether the first receiving box 300 is full, realizing real-time monitoring of the material collection status and preventing material overflow due to overfilling of the receiving box. This function helps to achieve automated monitoring of equipment operation and improves the safety and stability of system operation.

[0045] A baffle plate 190 is provided on the material distribution seat 100, and the baffle plate 190 is located above the first material channel 110. The baffle plate 190 above the first material channel 110 effectively prevents material from splashing or shifting during the conveying process, ensuring that the material accurately enters the designated material channel and reducing the occurrence of mis-distribution. This structure is simple and practical, significantly improving the distributing accuracy and operational stability.

[0046] This solution also includes a receiving component 400, which is located at the discharge end of the first material channel 110 and is used to receive the material discharged from the first material channel 110.

[0047] A receiving component 400 is installed at the discharge end of the first material channel 110 to receive the discharged material, which helps to achieve centralized collection or subsequent processing of the material and avoids material spillage and pollution. This structure improves the integrity and functionality of the entire system and provides a good foundation for the connection of downstream processes.

[0048] In one embodiment, the receiving component 400 includes a plurality of hoppers 410 arranged side by side, and a second driving component 420 that drives the plurality of hoppers 410 to move. The feeding ends of the plurality of hoppers 410 are all arranged facing the discharging end of the first material channel 110. The second driving component 420 is used to drive the plurality of hoppers 410 individually to align with the first material channel 110.

[0049] The second driving component 420 is preferably a cylinder. Multiple parallel material bins 410 are moved by the second driving component 420, allowing each material bin 410 to align sequentially with the discharge end of the first material channel 110, thus achieving orderly sorting and classified collection of materials. This structure not only improves the diversity of material collection but also supports simultaneous processing of multiple channels and types of materials, enhancing the equipment's multifunctionality and expandability.

[0050] In another embodiment, the receiving component 400 includes a plurality of second receiving boxes 430 arranged side by side, and a second driving component 420 for moving the plurality of second receiving boxes 430. The second driving component 420 is used to drive the plurality of second receiving boxes 430 individually to align with the discharge end of the first material channel 110.

[0051] Multiple second receiving boxes 430 are linked with a second drive unit 420 to achieve alternating docking of multiple receiving containers, but the structure is simpler and easier to maintain. This design allows for flexible selection of the receiving method according to actual application needs, and has high adaptability and practicality.

[0052] Preferably, both the first material channel 110 and the second material channel 120 are provided with guiding ramps. The guiding ramps in the first material channel 110 and the second material channel 120 help the material flow smoothly, reduce jamming or blockage, and improve material sorting efficiency. This structure optimizes the material transport path, enhances the smoothness and stability of the entire material sorting system, and is especially suitable for automatic sorting of granular or small parts.
