Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of logistics sorting, and in particular to a flexible material sorting and steering chute. Background Technology

[0002] Logistics sorting systems classify materials using automated sorting equipment. The core process involves the sorting device performing initial sorting based on material properties, followed by material flow control via a deflecting chute. Current mainstream solutions employ an inclined, smooth chute structure. This component is fixed to the side of the sorting equipment by an external support, relying on the material's own weight for downward transport. However, two major technical bottlenecks exist in practical applications:

[0003] First, the adaptability of flexible packaging materials is insufficient. When flexible materials enter the guide chute, due to the high coefficient of friction and the increased contact area caused by deformation, it is difficult for them to pass through the chute by their own weight alone, resulting in material accumulation. This accumulation not only affects sorting efficiency but may also cause system congestion.

[0004] Secondly, there are significant limitations in equipment adaptability. Existing guide channels are custom-designed, and their physical dimensions (such as length) are strongly tied to the layout of specific equipment. When the production process is adjusted or the equipment location is changed, the transport distance parameters of the original guide channels cannot match the new working conditions, and non-standard parts must be customized, resulting in resource waste and increased maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the existing technology. This utility model proposes a flexible material sorting and steering chute.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A flexible material sorting and steering chute includes two support frames and a transport roller for transporting materials. The transport roller is rotatably mounted between the two support frames via bearings and a rotating shaft.

[0008] In order to drive the conveyor roller on one side to rotate, a motor is fixed on the side of the support frame on one side, and the output shaft of the motor is fixed to the connecting shaft of the conveyor roller on one side by a coupling.

[0009] The first gear is securely fixed to the connecting shaft of the transport roller by bolts.

[0010] A second gear and a third gear are rotatably mounted on one side of the support frame via a bearing and a rotating shaft.

[0011] To facilitate the first gear driving the third gear to rotate in the same direction as the first gear, one side of the first gear meshes with one side of the second gear, while the other side of the second gear meshes with one side of the third gear.

[0012] The connecting shaft of the third gear is fixed to the connecting shaft of the transport roller on the other side by bolts.

[0013] Preferably, a splicing mechanism is also provided on one side of the support frame to facilitate splicing of the support frame, thereby increasing the length of the steering slide.

[0014] Preferably, the splicing mechanism includes a first groove formed on one side of the support frame and an extension plate welded and fixed to the other side of the support frame. A limiting block is firmly fixed inside the first groove. To splice adjacent support frames, a U-shaped block is firmly fixed below the extension plate. During splicing, the U-shaped block is placed from top to bottom on the top of the limiting block to initially splice adjacent support frames. Screw holes are symmetrically formed on both sides of the U-shaped block. To prevent the spliced ​​support frames from separating when moving up and down, a screw is threaded onto one side of the screw hole.

[0015] Preferably, two transport rollers are provided.

[0016] Preferably, in order to ensure that the inner three sides of the U-shaped block are attached to the outer three sides of the limiting block and to prevent the adjacent steering grooves from rotating around the connection point after splicing, the limiting block is fitted with the inner side of the U-shaped block.

[0017] Preferably, a circular block for rotating the screw is securely fixed to one side of the screw.

[0018] Preferably, a second groove is provided below the side of the support frame near the U-shaped block, and the second groove provides operating space when rotating the screw.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include:

[0020] 1. By setting up the motor in conjunction with the gears, the motor can be started actively, and the gears drive the conveyor rollers to actively transport flexible materials, thereby preventing the flexible materials from being stuck on the steering chute and ensuring the normal operation of the steering chute.

[0021] 2. When the application length of the guide slide needs to be adjusted, a U-shaped block is placed on top of the limiting block and the guide slide is limited by a screw, which facilitates the splicing and extension of the guide slides and improves the installation flexibility.

[0029] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0030] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in conjunction with Figures 1-5 As shown.

[0031] A flexible material sorting and steering chute includes two support frames 1 and transport rollers 6 for conveying materials. The transport rollers 6 are rotatably mounted between the two support frames 1 via bearings and a rotating shaft. Two transport rollers 6 are provided. To drive the rotation of one transport roller 6, a motor 2 is fixed to the side of one support frame 1 via an L-shaped bracket and bolts. The output shaft of the motor 2 is fixed to the connecting shaft of the transport roller 6 via a coupling. A first gear 3 is securely fixed to the connecting shaft of the transport roller 6. A second gear 4 and a third gear 5 are rotatably mounted on one side of the support frame 1 via bearings and a rotating shaft. To facilitate the first gear 3 driving the third gear 5 to rotate in the same direction as the first gear 3, one side of the first gear 3 meshes with one side of the second gear 4, while the other side of the second gear 4 meshes with one side of the third gear 5. The connecting shaft of the third gear 5 is fixed to the connecting shaft of the other transport roller 6 via a coupling. The third gear 5 drives the other transport roller 6 to rotate, ensuring that the transport roller 6 has active conveying capability.

[0032] In this embodiment, a splicing mechanism for facilitating the splicing of the support frame 1 is also provided on one side of the support frame 1 to increase the length of the steering slide.

[0033] The specific splicing mechanism includes a first groove 7 on one side of the support frame 1 and an extension plate 9 firmly fixed to the other side of the support frame 1. A limiting block 8 is firmly fixed inside the first groove 7. To facilitate the splicing of adjacent support frames 1, a U-shaped block 11 is firmly fixed below the extension plate 9. During splicing, the U-shaped block 11 is placed from top to bottom on the top of the limiting block 8, thus initially splicing the adjacent support frames 1. To ensure that the three inner sides of the U-shaped block 11 are in contact with the three outer sides of the limiting block 8, preventing the adjacent steering grooves from rotating around the connection point after splicing, the limiting block 8 fits into the inner side of the U-shaped block 11. Screw holes 12 are symmetrically provided on both sides of the U-shaped block 11. To prevent the spliced ​​support frames 1 from separating when moving up and down, a screw rod 13 is threaded onto one side of the screw hole 12, and a circular block for rotating the screw rod 13 is firmly fixed on one side of the screw rod 13. A second groove 10 is provided on the side of the support frame 1 near the U-shaped block 11. The second groove 10 provides operating space when rotating the screw 13, ensuring the normal installation of the screw 13.

[0034] In this embodiment, in order to protect the motor 2, the first gear 3, the second gear 4 and the third gear 5, a protective shell (not shown in the figure) can be installed on the side of the support frame 1 on which it is mounted by bolts, and the motor 2, the first gear 3, the second gear 4 and the third gear 5 are placed inside the protective shell.

[0035] Working principle: During use, the bracket (not shown in the figure) can be fixed to the lower end of the support frame 1 with bolts, so as to ensure that the deflecting chute is installed on the side of the sorting equipment. When the sorting equipment sorts, it pushes the material to the top of the conveyor roller 6 and starts the motor 2. The motor 2 drives the first gear 3 to rotate. Since the output end of the motor 2 is also fixed to the connecting shaft of the conveyor roller 6 on one side, the motor 2 drives the conveyor roller 6 on one side to rotate synchronously. When the first gear 3 rotates, it drives the third gear 5 to rotate through the adjacent second gear 4. In this way, the third gear 5 drives the other conveyor roller 6 connected to it to rotate. The two conveyor rollers 6 rotate in the same direction. When the material contacts the top of the conveyor roller 6, it is transported by the active rotation of the conveyor roller 6, which effectively prevents the flexible material from being stuck on the deflecting chute.

[0036] When it is necessary to extend the steering groove, raise the steering groove to be spliced, then move the extension plate 9 on one side of the steering groove to be spliced ​​to above the first groove 7 of the original steering groove, and then move the steering groove to be spliced ​​downward so that the U-shaped block 11 at the lower end of the extension plate 9 moves downward and fits above the limiting block 8 of the original steering groove. After completion, rotate the screw 13 so that the screw 13 moves along the screw hole 12 until it passes through the U-shaped block 11 and is installed inside the screw hole 12 on the other side. At this time, the screw 13 is located directly below the limiting block 8. At this time, the steering groove to be spliced ​​is fixed on one side of the original steering groove, and the splicing work is completed.

[0037] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
