[0039] The sorting function of the equipment is achieved by the coordinated operation of the rotary table assembly, hydraulic cylinder 8 and adaptive buffer. The drive motor b at the upper end of the support platform drives the rotary table 7 to rotate. The angle of the hydraulic cylinder 8 can be adjusted so that the sorting execution mechanism can adapt to the sorting port at different positions.

[0040] Hydraulic cylinder 8 is installed on the upper surface of rotary table 7, and its output end is fixed to fixed plate 9. Through telescopic movement, it pushes fixed plate 9 and connected adaptive buffer to move closer to or away from the goods.

[0041] The adaptive buffer includes a pusher 10, an arc-shaped groove 27, an elastic filling layer 28, an inner groove 25, and rubber pads. The pusher 10 is made of a rigid material as its main structure. An arc-shaped groove 27 is opened at the front end, and the groove is filled with an elastic filling layer 28, which can conform to the contours of round, square, and other goods and buffer the impact force during sorting. Inner grooves 25 are opened at both ends of the back of the pusher 10, which cooperate with the buffer assembly: the connecting post 24 extends into the interior of the inner groove 25, and a spring 26 is set between the outer convex ring and the inner wall of the inner groove 25. When the pusher 10 contacts the goods, the spring 26 is compressed and contracted to further absorb the impact energy and prevent the goods from being damaged by rigid collisions. Rubber pads are fixed at both ends of the pusher 10 to reduce friction damage when in contact with the edge of the goods.

[0042] The load-bearing assembly includes a load-bearing plate 13 and a base plate 29. A weight sensor is provided between the load-bearing plate 13 and the base plate 29.

[0044] Multiple load-bearing components are installed at equal intervals on the annular toothed belt 2 for carrying and conveying goods. The structure of the load-bearing components includes: a load-bearing plate 13: for directly placing goods, and a weight sensor is installed between the load-bearing plate 13 and the drive motor a14 to detect the weight of the goods in real time;

[0045] The mounting end consists of a connecting side plate 20 and a mounting rod 21: the mounting rod 21 is inserted into the mounting hole 3 of the annular toothed belt 2 and fixed by screws, so that the bearing component moves synchronously with the annular toothed belt 2;

[0046] The clamp 18 and the limiting rail 12: The rotating ring 17 is rotatably connected in the slot 15 on the lower surface of the drive motor a14. The clamp 18 is fixed at the lower end of the rotating ring 17. The clamp 18 slides with the limiting rail 12 at the upper end of the ring rail 1 to limit the lateral displacement of the bearing component and ensure that it moves along a fixed path.

[0047] The sliding contact component consists of abutment 16 and ball bearings 19: ball bearings 19 are installed inside the abutment 16 around the lower surface of the drive motor a14. The ball bearings 19 contact the upper surface of the annular track 1, and the rolling friction reduces the resistance when the load-bearing component moves, thus improving the smoothness of operation.

[0048] The drive assembly includes a main gear 4, and a drive motor a14 is connected to the middle of the main gear 4. The tensioning assembly includes a frustum 6, which is rotatably limited and located on the outside of the rotary table 7.

[0049] Workflow:

[0050] 1. After the goods are placed on the support plate 13 from the loading end, the annular toothed belt 2 moves cyclically under the action of the drive component, driving the support component to transport the goods along the annular track 1;

[0051] 2. When the goods arrive at the target sorting point:

[0052] The weight sensor detects the weight of the goods and feeds it back to the control system. The angle of the rotary table 7 is adjusted by the drive motor b so that the pusher 10 is aligned with the sorting port.

[0053] 3. The fixed plate 9 is pushed by the hydraulic cylinder 8, and the pusher 10 contacts the goods. The elastic filling layer 28 and the spring 26 provide double buffer against the impact force, pushing the goods to the sorting channel.

[0054] 4. After sorting is completed, hydraulic cylinder 8 retracts and pusher 10 resets, ready for the next round of sorting.

[0055] Through the coordinated use of structures such as ring toothed belt drive, load-bearing component positioning, and adaptive buffer sorting, a highly efficient, stable, and low-damage ring conveying and sorting function for goods is achieved.

[0056] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
