Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a first conveyor, and more particularly to a workpiece sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of cylindrical batteries, from flattening to inkjet printing, each stage includes one or more steps for detecting defective cell electrode assemblies. Currently, the removal of defective products typically involves a cylinder positioned beside the conveyor line or turntable. This cylinder drives a baffle to swing to the conveyor line or turntable, removing the defective product from the conveyor, and then the baffle swings back. This method of defective product sorting requires a large stroke for the baffle's swing, resulting in low efficiency in removing defective products. Therefore, there is an urgent need for equipment that can significantly improve the efficiency of workpiece sorting. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a workpiece sorting device to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provide a beneficial option or create conditions.

[0004] The solution to the technical problem of this utility model is:

[0005] A workpiece sorting device includes: a base plate; a transfer mechanism including a main turntable and a pusher assembly, wherein the main turntable is rotatable on the base plate along an axis in the vertical direction, and a plurality of transfer slots are arranged around the axis of the main turntable on its outer side, and the pusher assembly is respectively arranged on the top side of the main turntable at the positions corresponding to the plurality of transfer slots, the pusher assembly having a pusher block that can approach or move away from the transfer slot; and a sorting mechanism including a transfer assembly and a first conveyor, wherein the transfer assembly is used to transfer the workpiece pushed out by the pusher block to the first conveyor, and the first conveyor is used to transport the workpiece away from the transfer assembly.

[0006] This technical solution has at least the following beneficial effects: Workpieces requiring sorting are manually or via external equipment transported to the transfer slots outside the main turntable. Multiple transfer slots are located outside the main turntable, each capable of holding a workpiece. When the main turntable rotates, it causes the workpieces to rotate on the substrate. When a workpiece is moved to the intermediate transfer assembly, if it is defective or requires rejection, the pusher assembly on the top side of the main turntable corresponding to the workpiece operates. Its pusher moves closer to the workpiece, pushing it out of the transfer slot to the intermediate transfer assembly. The intermediate transfer assembly then transfers the workpiece to the first conveyor, which then transports it to the next station. This process utilizes the rotation of the main turntable to transfer workpieces. When a workpiece needs to be pushed out, the pusher assembly on the main turntable directly pushes it out, achieving workpiece sorting, improving the efficiency of workpiece discharge and transfer, and reducing the space occupied beside the main turntable, which is beneficial for expanding or assembling the overall equipment.

[0007] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the pushing assembly includes a positioning pin connected to the top side of the main turntable, a spring connected to the positioning pin and one end of the push block, the push block being rotatably connected to the main turntable, and the spring having a tendency to drive the push block to rotate away from the transfer groove. A fixing frame is connected to the base plate, and a linear drive is provided on the fixing frame corresponding to the position of the transfer assembly. The linear drive is driven to connect a lever, and the linear drive can drive the lever to press against the push block and cause the push block to rotate closer to the transfer groove. Pushing components are installed on the main turntable at positions corresponding to multiple transfer slots. In each pushing component, the push block inside the pushing component is spring-tensioned and limited, so the pusher block is in a state away from the transfer slot. When it is necessary to push the workpiece in the transfer slot to the intermediate component, the linear drive drives the pusher block to move towards the corresponding pushing component. The pusher block pushes the pusher block into the transfer slot, thus pushing the workpiece to the intermediate component. At this time, the spring is elastically stretched. After completion, the linear drive drives the pusher block to return to its original position, and the spring elastically returns to its original position, pulling the pusher block back to achieve the rotational reset of the pusher block. In this way, there is no need to set a drive structure on the pushing component on the main turntable. Only the drive structure needs to be installed at the position of the corresponding intermediate component, which simplifies the overall structure and reduces production costs.

[0008] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the push block is provided with a rotating wheel, which abuts against the push block. When the push block presses against the push block to push the push block to rotate, the rotating wheel applies force against the outside of the push block. When the rotating wheel moves relative to the outside of the push block, the rotation of the rotating wheel can reduce the friction between it and the push block, thereby improving the smoothness of pushing the push block to rotate.

[0009] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, multiple material sorting mechanisms are arranged around the main turntable, and linear drive components are respectively arranged on the fixed frame at positions corresponding to the multiple transfer components. The multiple material sorting mechanisms arranged around the main turntable enable multi-type sorting of workpieces, and each material sorting mechanism is equipped with a linear drive component. When a workpiece needs to be pushed to the required material sorting mechanism, the linear drive component corresponding to that mechanism actuates, improving the efficiency of workpiece sorting.

[0010] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the transfer mechanism further includes a transfer enclosure plate connected to the base plate. The transfer enclosure plate extends around the main turntable, and a transfer gap exists between the transfer enclosure plate and the main turntable. A notch is provided on the transfer enclosure plate to allow passage of the intermediate transfer component. When the main turntable transfers a workpiece, the transfer enclosure plate prevents the workpiece from being thrown out of the transfer slot due to excessive rotation speed of the main turntable, thus improving the stability of workpiece transfer. The notch on the transfer enclosure plate, corresponding to the position of the intermediate transfer component, allows the workpiece to pass through the notch and enter the intermediate transfer component when it needs to be pushed into it.

[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the transfer component includes a sorting turntable, which can rotate on the base plate along an axis in the vertical direction. Multiple sorting slots are arranged around the outer side of the sorting turntable along its axis. When a workpiece needs to be pushed out of the main turntable for sorting, the sorting turntable rotates until one of the sorting slots is directly opposite the workpiece. At this time, a pusher pushes the workpiece into the sorting slot, and the sorting turntable rotates, moving the workpiece located in the sorting slot to the first conveyor. This achieves the transfer of the workpiece from the main turntable to the first conveyor.

[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the transfer assembly further includes a transfer enclosure plate connected to the base plate. The transfer enclosure plate extends around the distribution turntable between the main turntable and the first conveyor, and a transfer gap exists between the transfer enclosure plate and the distribution turntable. When the distribution turntable transfers a workpiece, the workpiece is located within the transfer gap between the transfer enclosure plate and the distribution turntable. By using the transfer enclosure plate to limit the movement of the workpiece, it is possible to prevent the workpiece from being thrown out of the distribution trough due to problems such as excessive rotation speed of the distribution turntable, thus ensuring that the workpiece is stably transferred from the main turntable to the first conveyor.

[0013] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, a movable driving component is provided on the substrate. This component drives a baffle plate, which moves in and out between the sorting turntable and the main turntable. When the workpiece being transported by the main turntable does not need to be pushed onto the sorting turntable, the movable driving component moves the baffle plate between the sorting turntable and the main turntable to form a separation barrier, ensuring stable transport of the workpiece by the main turntable. When it is necessary to push the workpiece into the sorting turntable, the movable driving component moves the baffle plate out of the space between the sorting turntable and the main turntable, removing the restriction on the workpiece entering the sorting turntable. This ensures the accuracy of workpiece sorting.

[0014] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, this utility model also includes a discharge mechanism, which includes a discharge turntable and a second conveyor located beside the discharge turntable. The discharge turntable can rotate on the base plate along an axis in the vertical direction. Multiple discharge grooves are arranged around the axis of the discharge turntable on its outer side. The discharge turntable is located on the downstream side of the main turntable relative to the transfer assembly. After the main turntable transfers the workpiece through the sorting mechanism, the workpiece passes through the discharge mechanism. At this time, the workpiece directly enters the discharge groove outside the discharge turntable. The rotation of the discharge turntable drives the workpiece to the second conveyor, which then transports the workpiece to the next station. This allows for the unified transfer and unloading of workpieces that have not been pushed into the sorting mechanism, enriching the workpiece sorting function.

[0015] As a further improvement to the above technical solution, the discharge mechanism further includes a discharge enclosure plate, which extends around the discharge turntable between the main turntable and the second conveyor, and a discharge gap exists between the discharge enclosure plate and the discharge turntable. When the workpiece rotates from the main turntable to the position where it intersects with the discharge turntable, the discharge enclosure plate can guide the workpiece, effectively preventing the workpiece from being thrown outward at the intersection of the two turntables, so that the workpiece enters the discharge gap between the discharge enclosure plate and the discharge turntable and is stably transferred to the second conveyor.

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A workpiece sorting device includes a base plate 100, a transfer mechanism, and a sorting mechanism. The base plate 100 provides mounting support for the transfer mechanism and the sorting mechanism. The transfer mechanism includes a main turntable 210 and a pushing assembly. The main turntable 210 can rotate on the base plate 100 along an axis in the vertical direction. Naturally, the main turntable 210 is driven by a motor to rotate. A plurality of transfer grooves 211 are arranged around the axis of the main turntable 210. The pushing assembly is arranged on the top side of the main turntable 210 at positions corresponding to the plurality of transfer grooves 211. The pushing assembly has a pushing block 221 that can approach or move away from the transfer groove 211. The sorting mechanism includes a transfer assembly and a first conveyor 310. The transfer assembly is used to transfer the workpiece pushed out by the pushing block 221 to the first conveyor 310. The first conveyor 310 is used to transport the workpiece away from the transfer assembly.

[0026] As described above, the workpieces requiring classification are manually or via external equipment delivered to the transfer slots 211 on the outer side of the main turntable 210. Multiple transfer slots 211 are provided on the outer side of the main turntable 210, each capable of holding a workpiece. When the main turntable 210 rotates, it causes the workpieces to rotate on the substrate 100. When a workpiece is moved to the intermediate transfer assembly, if it is a defective product or requires rejection and classification, the pusher assembly on the top side of the main turntable 210 corresponding to the workpiece operates, with its pusher block 221 moving closer to the workpiece and pushing it from the turntable. The workpiece is pushed out of the feed trough 211 to the transfer component, and then the transfer component conveys the workpiece to the first conveyor 310. The first conveyor 310 then conveys the workpiece to the next station. In this way, the main turntable 210 is rotated to realize the transfer of workpieces. When it is necessary to push out the workpiece, the push component on the main turntable 210 corresponding to the workpiece position pushes out the workpiece directly, realizing the sorting of workpieces, improving the efficiency of workpiece discharge and transfer, and reducing the space occupied on the side of the main turntable 210, which is conducive to the expansion or assembly of the overall equipment.

[0027] Multiple pusher components on the main turntable 210 can each have an independent drive source, thereby driving multiple pusher blocks 221 to move. For example, multiple cylinders or electric lead screws are arranged in the pusher components to drive and connect multiple pusher blocks 221 respectively. However, this makes the entire main turntable 210 structure bulky and increases production costs. Therefore, in this embodiment, as... Figure 3As shown, the pushing assembly includes a positioning pin 222 connected to the top side of the main turntable 210 and a spring 223 connected to the positioning pin 222 and one end of the push block 221. The push block 221 is rotatably connected to the main turntable 210. The spring 223 has the tendency to drive the push block 221 to rotate away from the transfer groove 211. A fixing frame 224 is connected to the base plate 100. A linear drive member 225 is provided on the fixing frame 224 at the position corresponding to the transfer assembly. The linear drive member 225 drives a lever 226. The linear drive member 225 can drive the lever 226 to press against the push block 221 and make the push block 221 rotate closer to the transfer groove 211. In practical applications, the linear drive member 225 is mainly used to provide reciprocating driving force for the lever 226. Its structural form is various, such as electric screw, cylinder or hydraulic cylinder. Pushing components are respectively set on the main turntable 210 at the positions corresponding to multiple transfer slots 211. In each pushing component, the push block 221 inside the pushing component is tensioned and limited by the spring 223. At this time, the push block 226 is in a state away from the transfer slot 211. When it is necessary to push the workpiece in the transfer slot 211 to the intermediate component, the linear drive 225 drives the push block 226 to move towards the corresponding pushing component. The push block 221 is pushed out of the transfer slot 211 by the push block 226, thus pushing the workpiece to the intermediate component. At this time, the spring 223 is elastically stretched. After completion, the linear drive 225 drives the push block 226 to return to the reset position, and the spring 223 elastically returns to its original position, pulling the push block 221 back to achieve the rotation reset of the push block 221. In this way, there is no need to set a drive structure on the pushing component on the main turntable 210. Only the drive structure needs to be installed at the position of the corresponding intermediate component, which simplifies the overall structure and reduces production costs.

[0028] When the lever 226 directly abuts against the outside of the push block 221 to push the push block 221 to swing, there is relative sliding between the lever 226 and the push block 221. At this time, there is friction between the two, which can easily cause friction between the lever 226 and the push block 221. Therefore, in this embodiment, a rotating wheel 227 is provided on the lever 226. The rotating wheel 227 can rotate on the lever 226 along the vertical axis, and the rotating wheel 227 abuts against the push block 221. When the lever 226 presses against the push block 221 to push the push block 221 to rotate, the rotating wheel 227 applies force against the outside of the push block 221. When the rotating wheel 227 moves relative to the outside of the lever 226, the rotation of the rotating wheel 227 can reduce the friction between it and the push block 221, thereby improving the smoothness of pushing the push block 221 to rotate.

[0029] A single material sorting mechanism can sort a single workpiece. However, in production, there is a need to sort workpieces into different categories. Since the overall structure of the workpiece pushing component is simplified, reducing space occupation around the main turntable 210, multiple material sorting mechanisms can be arranged around the main turntable 210 as needed. Multiple material sorting mechanisms are arranged around the main turntable 210; for example, two or three material sorting mechanisms can be arranged around the main turntable 210. Linear drive components 225 are respectively arranged on the fixing frame 224 corresponding to the positions of the multiple transfer components. Multiple material sorting mechanisms arranged around the main turntable 210 can achieve multi-type sorting of workpieces. Each material sorting mechanism is equipped with a linear drive component 225. When a workpiece needs to be pushed to the required material sorting mechanism, the corresponding linear drive component 225 is activated, improving the efficiency of workpiece sorting.

[0030] In practical applications, the first conveyor 310 is mainly used to transfer workpieces to the next workstation. It has various structural forms, such as belt conveyor, roller conveyor or chain conveyor. The height of the first conveyor 310 is lower than the height of the material distribution turntable 320 and it is located on the rotation path of the material distribution trough 321. When the workpiece in the material distribution trough 321 rotates past the first conveyor 310, the workpiece can naturally transition to the first conveyor 310.

[0031] If the transfer groove 211 on the outside of the main turntable 210 is required to transfer the workpiece, the depth of the transfer groove 211 needs to be designed to be deeper, or the sidewall of the transfer groove 211 needs to be designed to fit the shape of the workpiece more closely, so as to prevent the workpiece from falling out of the transfer groove 211 during the rotation of the main turntable 210. In order to further increase the stability of the main turntable 210 in transferring the workpiece, in this embodiment, the transfer mechanism also includes a transfer enclosure 230 connected to the base plate 100. The transfer enclosure 230 extends around the main turntable 210, and there is a transfer gap between the transfer enclosure 230 and the main turntable 210. The transfer enclosure 230 is provided with a notch to avoid the transfer component. In practical applications, when there are multiple material distribution mechanisms, the transfer enclosure 230 is also provided with a notch to avoid the position where each transfer component pushes out and transfers the workpiece. When the main turntable 210 transfers the workpiece, the transfer enclosure 230 can prevent the workpiece from being thrown out of the transfer groove 211 due to problems such as the main turntable 210 rotating too fast, thereby improving the stability of the workpiece transfer. A notch is provided in the transfer enclosure 230 at the position corresponding to the transfer component. When it is necessary to push the workpiece into the transfer component, the workpiece can pass through the notch to enter the transfer component.

[0032] The transfer assembly is mainly used to further transfer the workpiece pushed out from the transfer trough 211 to the first conveyor 310. It has various structural forms. For example, it can use a drive source that can provide reciprocating motion to push the workpiece from the transfer trough 211 to the first conveyor 310. In this embodiment, the transfer assembly also adopts the method of rotating and transferring the workpiece, so that the whole forms a turret-type conveying structure. Specifically, the transfer assembly includes a material distribution turntable 320. The material distribution turntable 320 can rotate on the base plate 100 along the vertical axis. Naturally, the material distribution turntable 320 is driven by a motor to rotate on the base plate 100. The motor that drives the material distribution turntable 320 and the motor that drives the main turntable 210 can be independent of each other or the same motor. Multiple material distribution grooves 321 are arranged around the axis of the material distribution turntable 320. When a workpiece needs to be pushed out of the main turntable 210 for sorting, the sorting turntable 320 rotates until one of the sorting slots 321 is directly opposite the workpiece. At this time, the pusher block 221 pushes the workpiece into the sorting slot 321. The sorting turntable 320 rotates, driving the workpiece located in the sorting slot 321 to move to the first conveyor 310. In this way, the workpiece is transferred from the main turntable 210 to the first conveyor 310.

[0033] Similarly, if the workpiece needs to be transferred using the material distribution groove 321 on the outside of the material distribution turntable 320, the depth of the material distribution groove 321 needs to be designed to be deeper, or the sidewall of the material distribution groove 321 needs to be designed to fit the shape of the workpiece more closely, so as to prevent the workpiece from falling out of the material distribution groove 321 during the rotation of the material distribution turntable 320. In order to further increase the stability of the material distribution turntable 320 in transferring the workpiece, in this embodiment, the transfer assembly also includes a transfer enclosure 330 connected to the base plate 100. The transfer enclosure 330 extends around the material distribution turntable 320 between the main turntable 210 and the first conveyor 310, and there is a transfer gap between the transfer enclosure 330 and the material distribution turntable 320. When the material distribution turntable 320 transfers the workpiece, the workpiece is located in the transfer gap between the transfer plate 330 and the material distribution turntable 320. The transfer plate 330 limits the movement of the workpiece, which can prevent the workpiece from being thrown out of the material distribution trough 321 due to problems such as the excessive speed of the material distribution turntable 320, so that the workpiece is stably transferred from the main turntable 210 to the first conveyor 310.

[0034] Furthermore, a movable driving member is provided on the substrate 100. The movable driving member is driven to connect a baffle 400. The movable driving member can drive the baffle 400 to move between the sorting turntable 320 and the main turntable 210, that is, to move in and out of the notch on the transfer enclosure 230. When the workpiece transferred by the main turntable 210 does not need to be pushed out to the sorting turntable 320, the movable driving member drives the baffle 400 to enter between the sorting turntable 320 and the main turntable 210 to form a separation barrier, ensuring that the workpiece is stably transferred by the main turntable 210. When it is necessary to push the workpiece into the sorting turntable 320, the movable driving member drives the baffle 400 to exit between the sorting turntable 320 and the main turntable 210, releasing the restriction on the workpiece entering the sorting turntable 320. This ensures the accuracy of workpiece sorting. In practical applications, the movable drive component is mainly used to provide the driving force for reciprocating movement in a straight direction. It has various structural forms, such as electric lead screw, cylinder or hydraulic cylinder. The movable drive component can be directly installed on the top side of the substrate 100, driving the baffle 400 to move in and out between the dispensing turntable 320 and the main turntable 210 in a translational reciprocating manner. In order to reduce the space occupied above the substrate 100 and improve the compactness of the overall structure, the movable drive component can be installed on the bottom side of the substrate 100. In this case, a clearance opening is opened on the substrate 100 at the position corresponding to the baffle 400. The movable drive component drives the baffle 400 to move up and down at the clearance opening to move in and out between the dispensing turntable 320 and the main turntable 210.

[0035] In the above embodiments, the workpiece is pushed into the sorting mechanism, which enables active sorting of the workpiece. Especially when there are multiple sorting mechanisms, the workpieces transferred on the main turntable 210 can all be sent into different sorting mechanisms. To further enrich the workpiece sorting function, a structure for unified workpiece discharge can be set at the end of the main turntable 210, so that the same type of workpiece can be directly discharged when it is transferred to the end of the stroke. Specifically, the present invention also includes a discharge mechanism, which includes a discharge turntable 510 and a second conveyor 520 located beside the discharge turntable 510. The discharge turntable 510 can rotate on the base plate 100 along the vertical axis. Naturally, the discharge turntable... The disk 510 is driven by a motor to rotate. This motor can be one of two motors independent of the motor driving the main disk 210, or it can be the same motor that drives the main disk 210 and the discharge disk 510 to rotate simultaneously. The discharge disk 510 has multiple discharge slots 511 arranged around its axis. The discharge disk 510 is located on the downstream side of the main disk 210 relative to the transfer assembly. In practical applications, the height of the second conveyor 520 is lower than that of the discharge disk 510 and is located on the rotation path of the discharge slots 511. When the workpiece in the discharge slots 511 rotates past the second conveyor 520, the workpiece can naturally transition onto the second conveyor 520. After the main turntable 210 transfers the workpiece through the sorting mechanism, the workpiece passes through the discharge mechanism. At this time, the workpiece directly enters the discharge trough 511 on the outside of the discharge turntable 510. The discharge turntable 510 rotates to drive the workpiece to the second conveyor 520, which then transports the workpiece to the next station. In this way, workpieces that have not been pushed into the sorting mechanism can be transferred and unloaded in a unified manner, enriching the function of workpiece sorting.

[0036] If the workpiece needs to be transferred using the discharge groove 511 on the outside of the discharge turntable 510, the depth of the discharge groove 511 needs to be designed to be deeper, or the sidewall of the discharge groove 511 needs to be designed to fit the shape of the workpiece more closely, so as to prevent the workpiece from falling out of the discharge groove 511 during the rotation of the discharge turntable 510. In order to further increase the stability of the workpiece transfer by the discharge turntable 510 and ensure that the discharge turntable 510 can receive the material discharged by the rotation of the main turntable 210, in this embodiment, the discharge mechanism also includes a discharge enclosure plate 530. The discharge enclosure plate 530 extends around the discharge turntable 510 between the main turntable 210 and the second conveyor 520, and there is a discharge gap between the discharge enclosure plate 530 and the discharge turntable 510. When the workpiece rotates from the main turntable 210 to the position where it intersects with the discharge turntable 510, the discharge enclosure 530 can guide the workpiece, effectively preventing the workpiece from being thrown outward at the intersection of the two turntables, so that the workpiece enters the discharge gap between the discharge enclosure 530 and the discharge turntable 510 and is stably transferred to the second conveyor 520.

[0037] In practical applications, the second conveyor 520 is mainly used to transfer workpieces to the next workstation. It has various structural forms, such as belt conveyor, roller conveyor or chain conveyor.
