Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics sorting technology, and in particular to a high-efficiency sorting and conveying mechanism for material handling and packing. Background Technology
[0002] Material sorting and packing is a crucial link in logistics, packaging, and production processes. It mainly refers to the orderly sorting and packing of various products into boxes or containers according to certain rules and quantities, using mechanical, automated equipment, or manual means. High-efficiency sorting and conveying mechanisms for material sorting and packing are integrated mechanical devices used to automate the sorting, packing, and conveying of materials. They are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, electronics, daily necessities, manufacturing, and logistics warehousing sectors. Their core function is to achieve the orderly sorting, precise packing, and efficient conveying of materials through the coordinated operation of mechanical transmission, sensor detection, and control systems, significantly improving production efficiency, reducing labor costs, and minimizing errors during the sorting and packing process.
[0003] In existing sorting and conveying mechanisms, the material is unloaded by relying on gravity to allow it to fall naturally from a height to a designated location. For example, in some sorting and conveying mechanisms with hoppers, when the hopper's discharge port opens, the item flows out under its own weight, thus unloading. However, if the vertical distance from the hopper's discharge port to the target unloading location is too large, the falling speed will be high, resulting in a large impact force, which can damage the item. Existing technologies address this by laying or installing flexible cushioning materials along the item's falling path, such as attaching rubber, sponge, or soft plastic to the inner walls of chutes and hoppers. These materials and components can deform upon contact with the item, absorbing impact energy and reducing damage. However, after long-term exposure to friction and impact, the surface of these flexible materials will gradually wear down, harden, or crack, weakening their cushioning performance. For example, rubber pads may crack under high-frequency impact, and sponges may lose elasticity due to compression deformation, requiring periodic replacement and increasing maintenance costs.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0021] 1. In this utility model, when an object falls, the impact force is transmitted to the sliding block through the top plate, compressing the spring and converting kinetic energy into elastic potential energy, thus slowing down the descent speed. When the sliding block moves, it pushes the slider to slide along the inner wall, stretching the elastic rope to absorb energy and restrict the sliding. When the slider rebounds, the piston rod compresses air to form damping, suppressing the rebound speed and preventing the top plate from rebounding and hitting the object. This avoids the problem that the surface of the flexible material will gradually wear, harden, or crack after being subjected to friction and impact from the object for a long time, requiring regular replacement and increasing maintenance costs.

The chain connects to the long plate and controls its lifting and lowering. The number of rotations of the motor controls the lifting and lowering height of the long plate, so that the top plate of the buffer mechanism comes into contact with items of different heights during transportation, thereby shortening the falling distance.

Detailed Implementation
[0030] 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.
[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4This utility model provides an embodiment of a high-efficiency sorting and conveying mechanism for material handling and packaging, comprising a body 1. A conveyor belt 6 is installed on the left side of the outer wall of the body 1. Multiple feeding plates 5 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the front side of the outer wall of the conveyor belt 6. Hollow boxes 4 are provided at the bottom of each feeding plate 5. A buffer mechanism 2 is installed inside the hollow box 4 for buffering. A lifting mechanism 3 is installed on the front side of the outer wall of the hollow box 4 for adjusting the lifting body. The buffer mechanism 2 includes a hollow circular block 201, which is installed inside the hollow box 4. Multiple piston cylinders 202 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the top left and right sides of the inner wall of the hollow circular block 201. Sliding blocks 203 are slidably connected to the left and right sides of the inner wall of the hollow circular block 201. A base plate 210 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hollow circular block 201. Supporting short plates 205 are fixedly connected to the top left and right sides of the base plate 210. The outer wall of the supporting short plates 205 is... Elastic ropes 204 are fixedly connected to the upper part of the adjacent side. The other end of the outer wall of the elastic rope 204 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 203. Springs 208 are fixedly connected to the bottom left and right sides of the inner wall of the hollow block 201. Multiple piston rods 206 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the top of the slider 203. A sliding block 207 is slidably connected inside the hollow block 201. A top plate 209 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding block 207. Gear 2 3035 and gear 1 3034 are connected by a chain 3033. The outer wall of the connecting short plate 301 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chain 3033. The chain 3033 can drive the connecting short plate 301 to rise or fall synchronously. A support plate 3036 is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer wall of the hollow box 4. The top of the support plate 3036 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor 3031. The support plate 3036 serves to support and fix the motor 3031.
[0032] Specifically, when an object falls and impacts the top plate 209, the impact force is transmitted through the top plate 209 to the sliding block 207, causing it to compress the spring 208 inside the hollow block 201. The spring 208 contracts under pressure, converting some of the impact kinetic energy into elastic potential energy, thus slowing down the descent speed of the sliding block 207. As the sliding block 207 moves downward, it pushes the sliders 203 on both sides to slide downward along the inner wall of the hollow block 201. The sliders 203 stretch the elastic rope 204, and the elastic deformation of the elastic rope 204 further absorbs energy while limiting the sliding range of the sliders 203. When the sliders 203 rebound, the piston rod 206 inserts into the piston cylinder. Inside 202, the air inside the piston cylinder 202 is compressed, forming damping, thereby suppressing the rebound speed through piston resistance and preventing the top plate 209 from hitting objects due to rebound. Gear 2 3035 and gear 1 3034 are connected by a chain 3033. The outer wall of the connecting short plate 301 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the chain 3033. The rotation of the chain 3033 can drive the connecting short plate 301 to rise or fall synchronously. A support plate 3036 is fixedly connected to the front side of the outer wall of the hollow box 4. The top of the support plate 3036 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor 3031. The support plate 3036 serves to support and fix the motor 3031.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The lifting mechanism 3 includes a connecting short plate 301, which is installed on the front side of the outer wall of the hollow box 4. A long plate 302 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the outer wall of the connecting short plate 301. A drive assembly 303 is installed in the upper middle part of the front end of the outer wall of the hollow box 4. The drive assembly 303 includes a motor 3031, which is installed in the upper middle part of the front end of the outer wall of the hollow box 4. A fixed short column 3032 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 3031. A gear 1 3034 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the outer wall of the fixed short column 3032. A chain 3033 is installed on the outer wall of the gear 1 3034. A gear 2 3035 is rotatably connected to the lower middle part of the front side of the outer wall of the hollow box 4. A long slide groove 3037 is opened on the front side of the outer wall of the hollow box 4. The outer wall of the long plate 302 is slidably connected to the inside of the long slide groove 3037. The long slide groove 3037 can limit the movement trajectory and direction of the long plate 302.
[0034] Specifically, by turning on the motor 3031, the fixed short column 3032 is rotated, which in turn drives the gear 1 3034 to rotate. The gear 1 3034 meshes with the gear 2 3035 through the chain 3033, transmitting power to the gear 2 3035. The chain 3033 is connected to the elongated plate 302. The up and down movement of the chain 3033 pulls the elongated plate 302 to rise and fall. The elongated plate 302 is fixed to the rear side of the connecting short plate 301. Therefore, the rise and fall of the elongated plate 302 can drive the buffer mechanism 2 inside the hollow box 4 to move synchronously. The forward rotation of the motor 3031 drives the gear 1 3034 to rotate clockwise, and the chain 3033 pulls the elongated plate 302 upward, causing the buffer mechanism 2 to rise. The reverse rotation of motor 3031 drives gear 3034 to rotate counterclockwise, and chain 3033 releases elongated plate 302 downwards. The buffer mechanism 2 descends. By controlling the number of rotations of motor 3031, the lifting height of elongated plate 302 can be adjusted, so that the top plate 209 of buffer mechanism 2 can contact items of different heights during transportation to shorten the falling distance. Gear 3035 is rotatably connected to the lower middle part of the front side of the outer wall of hollow box 4. An elongated slide groove 3037 is opened on the front side of the outer wall of hollow box 4. The outer wall of elongated plate 302 is slidably connected to the inside of elongated slide groove 3037. Elongated slide groove 3037 can limit the movement trajectory and direction of elongated plate 302.
[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Multiple push plates 7 are equidistantly installed on the rear side of the outer wall of the conveyor belt 6. The push plates 7 can push the transported items to unload. Multiple unloading plates 5 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the front side of the outer wall of the conveyor belt 6. A detection head 8 is installed at the bottom of the machine body 1. The top of the detection head 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the machine body 1. The detection head 8 can sort items.
[0036] Specifically, multiple push plates 7 are equidistantly installed on the rear side of the outer wall of the conveyor belt 6. The push plates 7 can push the transported items to be unloaded. Multiple unloading plates 5 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the front side of the outer wall of the conveyor belt 6. A detection head 8 is installed at the bottom of the machine body 1. The top of the detection head 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the machine body 1. The detection head 8 can sort items.
[0037] Working principle: When an object falls and impacts the top plate 209, the impact force is transmitted through the top plate 209 to the sliding block 207, causing it to compress the spring 208 inside the hollow block 201. The spring 208 contracts under pressure, converting some of the impact kinetic energy into elastic potential energy, thus slowing down the descent speed of the sliding block 207. As the sliding block 207 moves downward, it pushes the sliders 203 on both sides to slide downward along the inner wall of the hollow block 201. The sliders 203 stretch the elastic rope 204, and the elastic deformation of the elastic rope 204 further absorbs energy while limiting the sliding range of the sliders 203. When the sliders 203 rebound, the piston rod 206 is inserted into the piston cylinder 202, and the air inside the piston cylinder 202 is compressed, forming damping. This piston resistance suppresses the rebound speed, preventing the top plate 209 from hitting the object due to rebound. This avoids the problem that the surface of the flexible material will gradually wear, harden, or crack after long-term friction and impact from the object, requiring regular replacement and increasing maintenance costs.
[0038] By activating motor 3031, the fixed short column 3032 is rotated, which in turn drives gear one 3034 to rotate. Gear one 3034 meshes with gear two 3035 via chain 3033, transmitting power to gear two 3035. Chain 3033 is connected to elongated plate 302, and the up-and-down movement of chain 3033 pulls elongated plate 302 to rise and fall. Elongated plate 302 is fixed to the rear side of connecting short plate 301, so the rising and falling of elongated plate 302 can drive the buffer mechanism 2 inside hollow box 4 to move synchronously. When motor 3031 rotates forward, it drives gear 3034 to rotate clockwise, and chain 3033 pulls the elongated plate 302 upward, causing the buffer mechanism 2 to rise. When motor 3031 rotates in reverse, it drives gear 3034 to rotate counterclockwise, and chain 3033 releases the elongated plate 302 downward, causing the buffer mechanism 2 to descend. By controlling the number of rotations of motor 3031, the lifting height of the elongated plate 302 can be adjusted, so that the top plate 209 of the buffer mechanism 2 can contact items of different heights during transportation, thereby shortening the falling distance.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
