[0002] After the fabric rolls are sorted and processed, they need to be sorted and classified, and then loaded into different storage frames. When storing them, they need to be lifted and stacked in the corresponding storage frames using corresponding auxiliary equipment. Both the auxiliary equipment and the storage frames require a large amount of space. When moving and handling them using the auxiliary equipment, they need to occupy a certain amount of space, resulting in low space utilization and affecting the arrangement of other operation links. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fabric roll sorting machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fabric roll sorting machine, comprising:
[0005] Roller conveyor 1;
[0006] A tilting mechanism is located at the bottom of the roller conveyor. The tilting mechanism includes a rotating shaft that is rotatably mounted. A tilting push rod is fixed to the outside of the rotating shaft for pushing the material down from the top of the roller conveyor.
[0007] Roller conveyor two is placed on one side of roller conveyor one, and a color sensor for identifying the color of the fabric is installed on one side of roller conveyor two;

[0023] 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.
[0024] Please see Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3, 4, and 5, this utility model provides a technical solution: a fabric roll sorting machine, comprising: a roller conveyor 1; a flipping mechanism located at the bottom of the roller conveyor 1, the flipping mechanism including a rotating shaft 2 rotatably mounted, a flipping push rod 4 fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 2 for pushing materials down from the top of the roller conveyor 1; a roller conveyor 9 installed parallel to one side of the roller conveyor 1, a color sensor 11 for identifying fabric color installed on one side of the roller conveyor 9, the color sensor 11 being a TCS3200 type RGB color sensor; a conveying assembly located between the roller conveyor 1 and the roller conveyor 9, the conveying assembly including two inclined support boxes 5, a support rod 7 slidably connected to the outside of the support box 5, and a drive unit for driving the support rod 7 to move inside the support box 5; a material distribution unit located at one end of the roller conveyor 9, the material distribution unit including multiple roller conveyors 14, each roller conveyor 14 having a pusher plate 15 for unloading material on one side.
[0025] It should be noted that in this embodiment, infrared sensors for detecting the position of the fabric roll are installed at the ends of both roller conveyor 1 and roller conveyor 3 14. The equipment is equipped with a controller and an operation panel. The infrared sensors and color sensors 11 are electrically connected to the controller. The fabric roll is conveyed above roller conveyor 1. When it reaches its end position, the infrared sensor detects the position, roller conveyor 1 stops conveying, and the controller controls the rotating shaft 2 to rotate. This pushes the fabric roll down from one side of roller conveyor 1 through the flipping mechanism. The fabric roll falls into the support rod 7 above the support box 5. Under the action of the drive unit, the support rod 7 moves upward to above roller conveyor 2 9 and is in an inclined state. Under the action of gravity, the fabric falls above roller conveyor 2 9. The color sensor 11 identifies the color of the fabric roll. After identification, the controller controls roller conveyor 2 9 and the corresponding roller conveyor 3 14 to work according to the preset program, so that the fabric roll is conveyed above the corresponding roller conveyor 3 14. It is then pushed down by the pusher plate 15 and falls into the designated receiving position.
[0026] In one embodiment, the rotating shaft 2 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the roller conveyor 1, and the bottom of the roller conveyor 1 is rotatably connected to the cylinder 3. The output end of the cylinder 3 is rotatably connected to the connecting plate 19, and the other end of the connecting plate 19 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 2.
[0027] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the flipping push rod 4 is staggered with the rollers of the roller conveyor 1. When the fabric roll is conveyed to the end of the roller conveyor 1, under the action of the infrared sensor, the roller conveyor 1 stops working and controls the cylinder 3 to extend. The cylinder 3 drives the rotating shaft 2 to rotate through the connecting plate 19. The rotating shaft 2 drives the flipping push rod 4 to rotate, so that the flipping push rod 4 extends out from between the rollers of the roller conveyor 1. In this way, the fabric roll above the roller conveyor 1 is pushed down by the flipping push rod 4.
[0028] In one embodiment, a baffle 10 is fixed to the outer side of the roller conveyor 2 9, and a color sensor 11 is fixed to the middle of the baffle 10.
[0029] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, when the conveying assembly transports the fabric roll to the top of the second roller conveyor 9, the baffle 10 blocks the fabric roll to prevent it from falling. During this period, the color sensor 11 transmits the collected color information (such as RGB values) to the controller. The controller uses a pre-programmed algorithm to determine the color value and identify the color of the fabric roll. The controller makes the determination based on preset color classification rules. Once the color of the fabric roll is identified, the controller sends a corresponding signal, instructing the second roller conveyor 9 and the third roller conveyor 14 to perform specific conveying actions, transporting the fabric above the designated third roller conveyor 14.
[0030] In one embodiment, the drive unit includes a chain assembly 6 installed inside the support box 5. A roller conveyor 9 is slidably connected to the middle of the support box 5 along its length. The chain of the chain assembly 6 is fixedly connected to the movable slider 8. The support rod 7 is fixedly connected to the movable slider 8. The support box 5 is fixedly connected to the roller conveyor 9. A reduction motor 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the roller conveyor 9. A drive shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the reduction motor 12. The drive shaft 13 is connected to the chain assembly 6 in a transmission connection.
[0031] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the chain assembly 6 includes two sprockets rotatably connected to the support box 5. The sprockets are connected by chain drive. The drive shaft 13 is fixedly connected to the upper sprocket and rotatably connected to the support box 5. The drive shaft 13 is driven to rotate by the reduction motor 12. The movable slider 8 is provided with a groove that cooperates with the support box 5. The chain is fixedly connected to the movable slider 8. The flip push rod 4 pushes the fabric roll above the roller conveyor 1 down so that it falls above the support rod 7. The chain assembly 6 drives the support rod 7 to move along the support box 5 through the movable slider 8. The support rod 7 conveys the fabric roll upward.
[0032] In one embodiment, a cylinder 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the roller conveyor 14, and a pusher plate 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 16. A limiting slide rod 17 that is slidably connected to the roller conveyor 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the pusher plate 15. An inclined guide rod is fixedly connected to the side of the roller conveyor 14 away from the cylinder 16, and a receiving rack 18 for receiving materials is provided below the guide rod.
[0033] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when the fabric roll is conveyed above the designated roller conveyor 14, the controller controls the cylinder 16 to drive the roller conveyor 14 forward. Under the action of the limit slide bar 17, the pusher plate 15 moves forward smoothly, thereby pushing the fabric roll off the side of the roller conveyor 14. Under the action of the guide rod and gravity, the fabric roll slides into the receiving rack 18, thereby realizing sorting, conveying and loading.
