Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of glass bead sorting technology, specifically a glass bead sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Reflective glass beads, also known as reflective glass microbeads or road marking reflective beads, are a material specifically designed to improve the visibility of road markings at night or in low light conditions. These microbeads are usually made of high-quality glass, which has good light transmission and reflectivity. When vehicle headlights shine on road markings containing these glass beads, the light passes through the microbeads and is refracted and reflected inside them, ultimately reflecting most of the light back to the direction of the light source, thereby greatly enhancing the visibility of the markings.

[0003] In the process of realizing this invention, the inventors discovered at least the following problems in the prior art:

[0004] Existing reflective glass beads come in different sizes and have different reflective effects. After production, reflective glass beads of different sizes are mixed together. Currently, the commonly used methods for sorting glass beads are vibrating sieving or inertial centrifugal sieving. However, these sorting methods are not only relatively complex and costly, but also prone to causing glass beads to break under the action of vibration or centrifugal force, resulting in poor reflective effect.

[0005] Therefore, the aforementioned technical problems need to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a glass bead sorting device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the problem that glass beads are prone to breakage and have poor reflectivity when sieving them using current vibrating screening or inertial centrifugal force screening methods has been solved.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A glass bead sorting device includes a glass bead feeding hopper and a collection box. A first sorting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the glass bead feeding hopper, and a first sorting groove is formed in the middle of the first sorting plate. A second sorting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the front end of the first sorting plate, and a second sorting groove is formed in the middle of the second sorting plate. A third sorting plate is fixedly installed at the bottom of the front end of the second sorting plate, and a third sorting groove is formed in the middle of the third sorting plate. The collection box is disposed at the bottom of the first, second, and third sorting plates.

[0010] Preferably, the outlet at the bottom of the glass bead feeding hopper is located at the top of the first sorting plate, and steel ropes are fixedly connected to both sides of the front end of the glass bead feeding hopper and the third sorting plate.

[0011] Preferably, the width of the second sorting groove is greater than that of the first sorting groove, and the width of the third sorting groove is greater than that of the second sorting groove.

[0012] Preferably, the collection box is provided with a first collection chamber, a second collection chamber, a third collection chamber and a fourth collection chamber inside. The first collection chamber is located at the bottom of the first sorting plate, the second collection chamber is located at the bottom of the second sorting plate, the third collection chamber is located at the bottom of the third sorting plate, and the fourth collection chamber is located at the front end of the bottom of the third sorting plate.

[0013] Preferably, anti-collision nets are fixedly installed on the top of the first collection chamber, the second collection chamber, the third collection chamber and the fourth collection chamber. The top of the anti-collision nets is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first sorting plate, the second sorting plate and the third sorting plate respectively, and the front end of the anti-collision nets is inclinedly fixed to the top of the fourth collection chamber.

[0014] Preferably, the rear ends of the bottom of the first, second, third, and fourth collecting chambers are arc surfaces, and a sponge pad is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first, second, third, and fourth collecting chambers.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a glass bead sorting device with the following advantages: by placing glass beads into the glass bead hopper, the glass beads slide from the bottom outlet of the glass bead hopper to the top of the first sorting plate. At this time, the smallest glass beads fall through the first sorting groove and are sorted out. The remaining beads slide to the top of the second sorting plate, where the smaller beads are sorted out through the second sorting groove. The remaining glass beads continue to slide to the top of the third sorting plate, where the larger glass beads are sorted out through the third sorting groove. The largest glass beads slide down from the front end of the third sorting plate and are collected. The simple structure realizes the sorting and screening of glass beads of different sizes, avoiding the situation where the glass beads are easily broken and the reflective effect of the glass beads is poor when using the current vibrating screen or inertial centrifugal force screen method.

[0021] 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.

[0022] As described in the background section, there are shortcomings in the existing technology. In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes a glass bead sorting device.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 A glass bead sorting device includes a glass bead feeding hopper 1 and a collection box 2. A first sorting plate 101 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the glass bead feeding hopper 1. A first sorting groove 102 is opened in the middle of the first sorting plate 101. A second sorting plate 103 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the front end of the first sorting plate 101. A second sorting groove 104 is opened in the middle of the second sorting plate 103. A third sorting plate 105 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the front end of the second sorting plate 103. A third sorting groove 106 is opened in the middle of the third sorting plate 105. The collection box 2 is disposed at the bottom of the first sorting plate 101, the second sorting plate 103 and the third sorting plate 105. The width of the second sorting groove 104 is greater than that of the first sorting groove 102, and the width of the third sorting groove 106 is greater than that of the second sorting groove 104.

[0024] With the above-described structural configuration, the glass bead sorting device first places the produced glass beads into the glass bead feeding hopper 1. The glass beads are then discharged through the outlet at the bottom of the glass bead feeding hopper 1, falling onto the top of the first sorting plate 101. Since the first sorting plate 101, the second sorting plate 103, and the third sorting plate 105 are inclined, the width of the second sorting groove 104 is greater than the width of the first sorting groove 102, and the width of the third sorting groove 106 is greater than the width of the second sorting groove 104. This allows the smallest glass beads to be sorted out through the first sorting groove 102, while the remaining glass beads slide down to... Smaller glass beads are separated from the top of the second sorting plate 103 through the second sorting groove 104. The remaining glass beads continue to slide to the top of the third sorting plate 105, where larger glass beads are separated through the third sorting groove 106. The largest glass beads then slide from the top of the third sorting plate 105 to the front end for collection. This simple structure enables the sorting and screening of glass beads of different sizes, solving the problem that current vibrating screening or inertial centrifugal screening methods easily cause glass beads to break, resulting in poor reflectivity.

[0025] Furthermore, the outlet at the bottom of the glass bead feeding hopper 1 is located at the top of the first sorting plate 101, and steel ropes 107 are fixedly connected to both sides of the front end of the glass bead feeding hopper 1 and the third sorting plate 105. The steel ropes 107 securely connect the glass bead feeding hopper 1 and the third sorting plate 105, making the third sorting plate 105 more firmly installed at the bottom of the glass bead feeding hopper 1.

[0026] Furthermore, the collection box 2 is internally provided with a first collection chamber 201, a second collection chamber 202, a third collection chamber 203, and a fourth collection chamber 204. The first collection chamber 201 is located at the bottom of the first sorting plate 101, the second collection chamber 202 is located at the bottom of the second sorting plate 103, the third collection chamber 203 is located at the bottom of the third sorting plate 105, and the fourth collection chamber 204 is located at the front end of the bottom of the third sorting plate 105. The smallest glass beads are sorted through the first sorting groove 102 and fall into the first collection chamber 201 for collection; smaller glass beads are sorted through the second sorting groove 104 and fall into the second collection chamber 202 for collection; larger glass beads are sorted through the third sorting groove 106 and fall into the third collection chamber 203 for collection; and the largest glass beads slide from the top of the third sorting plate 105 to the front end and fall into the fourth collection chamber 204 for collection. This allows for the sorting and categorized collection of glass beads of different sizes, making it easier for staff to distinguish between different sizes.

[0027] Furthermore, anti-collision nets 205 are fixedly installed on the top of the first collection chamber 201, the second collection chamber 202, the third collection chamber 203, and the fourth collection chamber 204. The top of the anti-collision nets 205 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the first sorting plate 101, the second sorting plate 103, and the third sorting plate 105, respectively, and the front end of the anti-collision nets 205 is inclined and fixed to the top of the fourth collection chamber 204. When glass beads of different sizes fall during sorting, they first land on the top of the anti-collision nets 205. The anti-collision nets 205 act as a buffer to prevent the glass beads from breaking easily when they collide. Since the anti-collision nets 205 are all inclined to the rear end, the glass beads that land on the top of the anti-collision nets 205 slide from the rear end of the anti-collision nets 205 into the designated collection chambers for collection.

[0028] Furthermore, the rear ends of the bottoms of the first collecting chamber 201, the second collecting chamber 202, the third collecting chamber 203, and the fourth collecting chamber 204 are arc-shaped surfaces, and sponge pads 206 are fixedly installed at the bottoms of the first collecting chamber 201, the second collecting chamber 202, the third collecting chamber 203, and the fourth collecting chamber 204. Because the bottoms of the first collecting chamber 201, the second collecting chamber 202, the third collecting chamber 203, and the fourth collecting chamber 204 are arc-shaped surfaces and are equipped with sponge pads 206, the impact force on the glass beads when they fall is reduced, thus protecting the glass beads.

[0029] 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.
