Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of card sorting machine technology, and in particular to a card sorting machine and its sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, card sorting machines typically use air blowing to direct target cards into the corresponding receiving device. However, the air blowing direction is usually horizontal and perpendicular to the card conveying direction. Cards need to overcome friction with the conveying device to leave, requiring a large airflow. However, this large airflow can easily blow adjacent cards up, affecting the sorting of these mistakenly blown-up cards. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a card sorting machine and its sorting device that can blow up the target card without accidentally blowing up other cards.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a sorting device for a card sorting machine, comprising:

[0006] A conveying mechanism is disposed in the conveying groove, a first channel is formed between the conveying mechanism and the baffle plate, and a second channel is formed between the conveying mechanism and the mounting plate;
[0007] A jet mechanism is disposed in the second channel. The blowing direction of the jet mechanism is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism and is inclined upward relative to the horizontal plane. The jet mechanism is used to blow up the target card on the conveying mechanism. A baffle plate is disposed opposite to the jet mechanism and is used to block the target card blown up by the jet mechanism. The first channel is for the target card blocked by the baffle plate to pass through.

[0025] This utility model provides a sorting device for a card sorting machine, which has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0026] The card sorting device of this utility model includes a frame, a conveying mechanism, a jetting mechanism, and a baffle plate. The conveying mechanism is used to convey cards. The jetting mechanism is set on the frame and located on one side of the conveying mechanism. The blowing direction of the jetting mechanism is perpendicular to the conveying direction and is inclined upward relative to the horizontal plane.

[0040] Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 A sorting device for a card sorting machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a frame 1, a conveying mechanism 2, an air jet mechanism 3, and a card baffle 4.
[0042] The frame 1 has a baffle plate 4 and a mounting plate 8, and a conveying groove is formed between the baffle plate 4 and the mounting plate 8.
[0043] The conveying mechanism 2 is installed in the conveying slot and is used to transport cards. The conveying mechanism 2 can be a conveyor belt. A first channel 5 is formed between the conveying mechanism 2 and the card stop plate 4, and a second channel 9 is formed between the conveying mechanism 2 and the mounting plate 8.
[0044] The jet mechanism 3 is mounted on the frame 1, located in the second channel 9, and positioned on one side of the conveying mechanism 2. The blowing direction of the jet mechanism 3 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2, and the blowing direction of the jet mechanism 3 is inclined upward relative to the horizontal plane. The jet mechanism 3 is used to blow up the target card on the conveying mechanism 2.
[0045] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The baffle plate 4 and the jet mechanism 3 are located on both sides of the conveying mechanism 2. The baffle plate 4 and the jet mechanism 3 are arranged opposite to each other. The baffle plate 4 is used to block the target card blown up by the jet mechanism 3. The first channel 5 is for the target card blocked by the baffle plate 4 to pass through.
[0046] The conveyor mechanism 2 transports cards, and multiple jet mechanisms 3 are set along the conveying direction of the conveyor mechanism 2. The card baffle 4 is also set along the conveying direction. When the target card moves to the corresponding jet mechanism 3, the jet mechanism 3 blows the target card up. The target card will be blocked by the card baffle 4, and then slide off the card baffle 4 and leave through the first channel 5, thus realizing sorting.
[0047] The jetting mechanism 3 is mounted on the frame 1, and is located on both sides of the conveying mechanism 2 along with the first channel 5. The jetting mechanism 3 and the conveying mechanism 2 are adjacent to each other, and the blowing direction of the jetting mechanism 3 is perpendicular to the conveying direction and tilted upwards relative to the horizontal plane. This allows the gas blown by the jetting mechanism 3 to blow the target card diagonally upwards, so that the target card does not need to overcome the friction between itself and the conveying mechanism 2 to be blown onto the card baffle 4, without requiring excessive wind force and preventing other cards from being blown away. The card baffle 4 is positioned opposite the jetting mechanism 3, blocking the blown target card and allowing it to fall through the first channel 5 between the card baffle 4 and the conveying mechanism 2, thus achieving card sorting.
[0048] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 The jet mechanism 3 includes a plate 31 disposed in the second channel 9. An air passage 32 is disposed inside the plate 31. Both ends of the air passage 32 extend to the surface of the plate 31. An air hole 311 is disposed on the surface of the plate 31. The air hole 311 communicates with the air passage 32. The blowing direction of the air hole 311 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying mechanism 2, and the blowing direction of the air hole 311 is inclined upward relative to the horizontal plane.
[0049] Air passage 32 is connected to an external air supply device. When air needs to be blown out, the air from the external air supply device enters air passage 32 and is then blown out through air hole 311. The height of air hole 311 is higher than that of conveying mechanism 2, ensuring that the card on conveying mechanism 2 can be blown up by the air blown out of air hole 311.
[0050] The surface of the plate 31 has an inclined surface 312 that is tilted relative to the horizontal plane, and air holes 311 are provided on the inclined surface 312.
[0051] In this embodiment, the inclined surface 312 is provided on the top of the plate 31. By providing the inclined surface 312, the blowing direction of the air hole 311 on the inclined surface 312 can be changed.
[0052] Specifically, the height of the jet mechanism 3 can be set lower than the surface of the conveying mechanism 2, with the end of the card conveyed by the conveying mechanism 2 extending beyond the surface of the conveying mechanism 2 near the jet mechanism 3, allowing the air hole 311 to blow the card up. Alternatively, the blowing direction of the air hole 311 can be set to be only slightly upward relative to the horizontal plane, such as an angle not exceeding 10°, with the air hole 311 level with the upper surface of the conveying mechanism 2, allowing the card to be blown up by the airflow. Alternatively, the surface of the conveying mechanism 2 that supports the card can be provided with holes, with part of the card covering the holes during card conveying, and when the air hole 311 blows air, the airflow acts on the card through the holes, causing the card to be blown up.
[0053] The sorting device also includes a controller, which is mounted on the frame 1.
[0054] The jet mechanism 3 also includes a controller 33, which is mounted on the plate 31 and is used for electrical connection with external equipment connected to the air passage 32.
[0055] The controller 33 is used to control external devices, such as air compressors that supply air to the jet mechanism 3. The controller 33 can control the air volume and speed of the air compressor's output airflow.
[0056] The controller 33 can be connected to external devices via wired or wireless means.
[0057] Multiple air holes 311 are provided, and these multiple air holes 311 are arranged on both sides of the controller 33 along the conveying direction. The simultaneous blowing of air through multiple air holes 311 can make the target card blow more stably onto the corresponding card baffle 4 of the plate 31.
[0058] The number of air vents 311 on both sides of the controller 33 is the same. In other embodiments, this can be configured as needed.
[0059] In this embodiment, a recess 313 is provided on the surface of the plate 31 near the conveying mechanism 2, the controller 33 is disposed in the recess 313, and air holes 311 are disposed on both sides of the recess 313. The recess 313 does not affect the air passage 32 inside the plate 31, and also provides space for the installation position of the controller 33.
[0060] The card sorting machine of this embodiment also includes a storage box 11. The storage box 11 is disposed on the side of the conveying mechanism 2 facing the card baffle 4. The storage box 11 is located below the first channel 5, so that the target card falls into the storage box 11 after passing through the first channel 5.
[0061] In this embodiment, multiple storage boxes 11 can be set up to sort different cards.
[0062] When confirming whether the card being transported is the target card, the distance between the air jet mechanism 3 corresponding to the storage box 11 and the target card at the loading point is calculated based on the specific location of the storage box 11 corresponding to the target card. Since the speed of the conveying mechanism 2 is constant, the time it takes for the target card to be transported to the air jet mechanism 3 can be calculated. After this time, the air jet mechanism 3 blows air, which allows the target card to enter the corresponding storage box 11.
[0063] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7 The card sorting machine of this embodiment also includes a guide 6. The guide 6 is disposed on the frame 1. One end of the guide 6 has an opening 61. The opening 61 is located below the first channel 5. The position of the opening 61 is opposite to the position of the jet mechanism 3. The opening 61 allows the target card that slides down from the card baffle 4 to pass through. The other end of the guide 6 is connected to the storage box 11.
[0064] The sorted cards will enter the corresponding storage box 11. However, if the target card falls directly into the storage box 11 from the first channel 5, the path of the target card in the hole will be too long, making it difficult to control the landing point of the target card. By setting up a guide 6, after the target card slides off the baffle plate 4, it enters the guide 6 through the opening 61. The end of the guide 6 away from the first channel 5 can be directly connected to the storage box 11, allowing the target card to enter the storage box 11 through the guide 6, ensuring that the target card can be successfully stored in the corresponding storage box 11.
[0065] In this embodiment, the guide 6 is groove-shaped, and the opening 61 is at least a portion of the groove of the guide 6. In other embodiments, the guide 6 may also be pipe-shaped; the specific implementation can be tailored to the specific circumstances.
[0066] This embodiment also provides a card sorting machine, including the sorting device and the feeding mechanism 7 as described above, wherein the feeding mechanism 7 is used to transport cards by the conveying mechanism 2.
[0067] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and substitutions can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and substitutions should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
