In order to reduce production and manufacturing costs, most companies now adopt a secondary grinding method for centralized recycling and reuse, thereby reducing the cost of tool procurement.
[0003] In the process of recycling knives, different types of knives need to be classified. The existing technology usually classifies knives by manual sorting, which is troublesome, time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, this application proposes a knife quality sorting device.

[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features of the present utility model can be combined with each other.
[0023] Some embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] Example 1:
[0025] Combination Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a composite tool quality sorting device, including: a sorting mechanism 100 and a storage mechanism 200.
[0026] The sorting mechanism 100 includes a frame 110, multiple support legs 120 fixed at the four corners of the frame 110, a slide block 130 slidably fitted on the frame 110, a mass sensor 140 fixed at the top of the slide block 130, a placement seat 150 mounted on the top of the mass sensor 140 and passing through the slide block 130, a drive member 160 mounted on the frame 110 and passing laterally through the slide block 130, a push-out member 170 fixed on one side of the slide block 130, multiple guide plates 180 fixed on one side of the frame 110, and a laser rangefinder sensor 190 fixed on one side of the frame 110.
[0027] The frame 110 is used to install other components, and the support legs 120 are used to support the frame 110 and ensure its stability. Slide rails 132 are fixed on both sides of the slide block 130. Slide grooves 111 are formed on the opposite inner surfaces of the frame 110, and the slide rails 132 are fitted into the slide grooves 111 to ensure the stability of the slide block 130 when moving within the frame 110. The frame 110 is used to install the quality sensor 140 and the placement seat 150. The placement seat 150 is used to place the tools that need to be sorted. It includes multiple support rods 151 that move through the slide 130 and a V-shaped seat 152 fixed to the top of the support rods 151. The support rods 151 are used to fix the V-shaped seat 152 and limit the movement of the V-shaped seat 152. The V-shaped seat 152 has a V-shaped groove to ensure the stability when the tool is placed in. It is suitable for tools of different sizes. The bottom center of the V-shaped seat 152 is close to the quality sensor 140, so that the quality sensor 140 can monitor the quality of the tool at the top of the V-shaped seat 152 in real time.
[0028] The drive unit 160 is used to drive the slide 130 to move. The slide 130 has a threaded hole 131 opened laterally. The drive unit 160 includes a threaded rod 161 rotatably mounted on the inner side of the frame 110 and a motor 162 fixed on one side of the frame 110 and whose shaft is fixedly connected to the end of the threaded rod 161. The threaded rod 161 passes through the threaded hole 131 and the two mesh with each other. When the motor 162 starts, it drives the threaded rod 161 to rotate. The threaded rod 161 rotates in the threaded hole 131, which drives the slide 130 to move, and then drives the placement seat 150 to move, so as to facilitate the movement of the tool on the placement seat 150 to the vicinity of the corresponding guide plate 180.
[0029] In addition, the laser rangefinder 190 is fixed on one side of the frame 110 and aligned with the placement seat 150, which can monitor the position of the placement seat 150 in real time and ensure that the placement seat 150 can accurately stop on one side of the guide plate 180.
[0030] The push-out component 170 is used to push the cutter on the placement seat 150 into the guide plate 180. It includes a bracket 171 fixed to the bottom end of the slide 130 and extending to one side, an electric telescopic rod 172 fixed to the bracket 171, and a triangular push plate 173 fixed to the end of the electric telescopic rod 172. The bracket 171 is used to fix the electric telescopic rod 172 and ensure the stability of the electric telescopic rod 172. The electric telescopic rod 172 is used to fix the triangular push plate 173 and drive the triangular push plate 173 to move. The triangular push plate 173 is used to push the cutter in the V-shaped seat 152 into the guide plate 180, and the guide plate 180 pours the cutter into the storage mechanism 200.
[0031] The storage mechanism 200 is used to store the cutting tools and includes a box 210 disposed on one side of the guide plate 180, a plurality of V-shaped plates 220 fixed in an alternating symmetrical manner on the inner wall of the box 210, a baffle 230 slidably installed on one side of the box 210, and a handle 240 symmetrically fixed on the top of the box 210.
[0032] The housing 210 is used to install other components. One side of the housing 210 has a feed hole 211, and the other side has a discharge hole 212. Multiple V-shaped plates 220 cooperate with each other to form an S-shaped storage space within the housing 210. One side of this storage space communicates with the feed hole 211, facilitating the entry of the cutting tool into the S-shaped storage space, while the other side communicates with the discharge hole 212, facilitating the outward delivery of the cutting tool from the S-shaped storage space. This design allows the cutting tool to roll and stack along the V-shaped plates 220 when it enters the housing 210 via the guide plate 180, preventing the cutting tool from falling directly into the housing 210 and causing damage to its surface.
[0033] The box 210 has waist-shaped holes 213 on both sides of the discharge hole 212. The baffle 230 has protrusions 231 fixed at both ends. The protrusions 231 slide into the waist-shaped holes 213 to facilitate the baffle 230 to slide up and down. The baffle 230 is used to close the discharge hole 212 of the box 210. The handle 240 is used to facilitate workers to lift the box 210 for movement.
[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the cutter is placed on the V-shaped seat 152. At this time, the mass sensor 140 detects the weight of the cutter on the V-shaped seat 152 and determines which guide plate 180 it will be sent out through based on the detection result. Subsequently, the motor 162 starts, driving the threaded rod 161 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 161 drives the slide 130 to move, which in turn moves the placement seat 150. Simultaneously, the laser rangefinder 190 monitors the position of the placement seat 150 in real time. When the placement seat 150 moves to the side of the corresponding guide plate 180, the motor 162 stops, and the electric telescopic rod 172 starts, driving the triangular push plate 173 to move, pushing the cutter in the V-shaped seat 152 outwards, allowing it to enter the box 210 through the guide plate 180. After entering the box 210, the cutter rolls and stacks along the V-shaped plate 220, thus completing the automatic sorting operation of the cutter. The above process can be repeated subsequently.
[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand 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 claims and their equivalents.
