[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] An automated material sorting robot mechanism includes a rotating base. A linear module is fixedly mounted on the rotating end of the rotating base. A first mounting seat is mounted on the moving end of the linear module. A cylinder is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the first mounting seat. A first mounting plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder. A second mounting seat is fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the first mounting plate. A first electric telescopic rod is fixedly mounted on the side surface of the second mounting seat. A second mounting plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the first electric telescopic rod. A sorting base is fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the second mounting plate.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the overall structure is simple and stable, with low manufacturing and maintenance costs, and it can be modularly disassembled and assembled, making it highly practical.
[0008] Furthermore, a second electric telescopic rod is fixedly installed on each of the symmetrical end faces of the sorting base. A third mounting plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the second electric telescopic rod. A pressure sensor is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the third mounting plate. A clamping plate is fixedly connected to the force-receiving end of the pressure sensor.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the clamping force on the sorted materials can be detected in real time.
[0010] Furthermore, a telescopic connecting rod is fixedly connected to each of the four corner positions on one side of the outer surface of the third mounting plate. The other end of the telescopic connecting rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the clamping plate. A second limiting slide rod is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the third mounting plate. The second limiting slide rod slides through the sliding hole on the end face of the sorting base.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solutions, the structural stability of the internal structure of the sorting base can be effectively improved.
[0012] Furthermore, the first mounting base is fixedly installed to the moving end of the linear module by bolts, and the second mounting base is fixedly installed to the first mounting plate by bolts. Two first limiting slide rods are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first mounting plate, and the first limiting slide rods pass through the sliding holes on the outer surface of the first mounting base.

[0019] 1. This utility model allows for flexible and convenient assembly of various components. During subsequent use, disassembly and maintenance can be easily performed as needed, making it highly practical. Furthermore, the position of the clamping structure can be adjusted according to the dimensions of the sorting equipment. During adjustment, the linear module can be activated, flexibly adjusting the height of the first mounting base and the clamping structure. Then, the extension and retraction of the first electric telescopic rod is adjusted to achieve the position adjustment of the clamping structure. After the position adjustment is complete, normal use can commence. At this point, the cylinder is activated, and its extension lowers the height of the clamping structure. The material is lowered and placed in the clamping position. Then, two second electric telescopic rods extend, which drive two clamping plates to move closer together and clamp the material to be sorted. Then, the cylinder retracts to raise the height of the clamped material. Then, the rotary motor is started, which drives the rotating end of the rotating base to rotate, thus effectively transferring the clamped material to the designated position. Then, the cylinder extends and releases the two clamping plates, allowing the sorted material to be placed in the designated location. The entire sorting operation is fast and efficient. At the same time, the structure of the entire robotic arm mechanism is simple and stable, and the manufacturing and maintenance costs are low.
[0020] 2. This utility model installs two pressure sensors inside the sorting base, between the third mounting plate and the clamping plate. When the clamping plate clamps the material to be sorted, the pressure sensors can detect the clamping reaction force in real time and transmit it to the external pressure controller. When the value is too large, the pressure controller sends a signal to the control system to stop the clamping operation, thus avoiding excessive clamping force that could damage the material being sorted and effectively improving sorting safety.

The second mounting base 7 is fixedly installed to the first mounting plate 6 by bolts. Two first limiting slide rods 5 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the first mounting plate 6. The first limiting slide rods 5 pass through the sliding holes on the outer surface of the first mounting base 3. The second mounting base 7 is provided with a tube seat, and a support slide rod 8 passes through the inside of the tube seat. One end of the support slide rod 8 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second mounting plate 10. An inner mounting plate 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating base 1. A rotary motor 19 is fixedly installed at the middle position of the lower surface of the inner mounting plate 18. One end of the rotation shaft of the rotary motor 19 is fixedly connected to the rotary base 1. On the inner end face of the rotating end, the assembly of various components can be carried out flexibly and conveniently. During subsequent use, disassembly and maintenance can be easily performed as needed, making it highly practical. Furthermore, during use, the position of the clamping structure can be adjusted according to the size of the sorting equipment. During adjustment, the linear module 2 can be activated, which can flexibly adjust the height of the first mounting base 3 and the clamping structure. Then, the extension of the first electric telescopic rod 9 is adjusted to achieve the position adjustment operation of the clamping structure. After the position adjustment is completed, normal use can begin. At this time, the cylinder 4 is activated, and the extension of the cylinder 4 lowers the height of the clamping structure. The material is placed in the clamping position, and then the two second electric telescopic rods 12 extend. The two second electric telescopic rods 12 drive the two clamping plates to move closer to each other and clamp the material to be sorted. Then the cylinder 4 retracts to raise the height of the clamped material. Then the rotary motor 19 is started, which drives the rotating end of the rotating base 1 to rotate, thereby effectively transferring the clamped material to the designated position. Then the cylinder 4 extends, and then the two clamping plates 16 are released, so that the sorted material can be placed in the designated location. The entire sorting operation is fast and efficient. At the same time, the structure of the entire robotic arm mechanism is simple and stable, and the manufacturing and maintenance costs are low.
[0028] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4A second electric telescopic rod 12 is fixedly installed on each of the symmetrical end faces of the sorting base 11. A third mounting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the second electric telescopic rod 12. A pressure sensor 17 (MPX4115A) is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the third mounting plate 14. A clamping plate 16 is fixedly connected to the force-receiving end of the pressure sensor 17. A telescopic connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected to each of the four corner positions on one side of the outer surface of the third mounting plate 14. The other end of the telescopic connecting rod 15 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the clamping plate 16. A second limiting slide is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the third mounting plate 14. Rod 13, the second limiting slide rod 13 slides through the sliding hole on the end face of the sorting base 11. Two pressure sensors 17 are installed inside the sorting base, and the pressure sensors 17 are installed between the third mounting plate 14 and the clamping plate 16. When the clamping plate 16 clamps the material to be sorted, the pressure sensors 17 can detect the clamping reaction force in real time and transmit it to the external pressure controller. When the value is too large, the pressure controller sends a signal to the control system to stop the clamping operation, so as to avoid excessive clamping force and damage to the sorted material. The sorting safety is effectively improved.
[0029] Working Principle: In use, first install the equipment in the designated location. Then, adjust the position of the clamping structure according to the size of the sorting equipment. During adjustment, the linear module 2 can be activated, which can flexibly adjust the height of the first mounting base 3 and the clamping structure. Next, adjust the extension of the first electric telescopic rod 9 to adjust the position of the clamping structure. After the position is adjusted, normal use can begin. At this time, activate cylinder 4. The extension of cylinder 4 lowers the height of the clamping structure and places it in the clamping position. Then, extend the two second electric telescopic rods 12, causing the two clamping plates to move closer together and clamp the material to be sorted. Then, retract cylinder 4 to raise the height of the clamped material. Finally, activate the rotary motor 19, which drives the rotation of the rotating base 1. The end rotates, effectively transferring the clamped material to the designated location. Then, the cylinder 4 extends, releasing the two clamping plates 16, allowing the sorted material to be placed in the designated location. The entire sorting operation is fast and efficient. At the same time, the structure of the entire robotic arm mechanism is simple and stable, with low manufacturing and maintenance costs. Because two pressure sensors 17 are installed inside the sorting base, and the pressure sensors 17 are installed between the third mounting plate 14 and the clamping plate 16, when the clamping plate 16 clamps the sorted material, the pressure sensors 17 can detect the clamping reaction force in real time and transmit it to the external pressure controller. When the value is too large, the pressure controller sends a signal to the control system to stop the clamping operation, avoiding excessive clamping force that could damage the sorted material, thus effectively improving sorting safety.
