Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rubber product sorting and arrangement technology, specifically to an automated rubber product sorting and arrangement device. Background Technology

[0002] Rubber products refer to the activities of producing various rubber products using natural and synthetic rubber as raw materials, including rubber products manufactured from recycled waste rubber. The production volume of synthetic rubber has far exceeded that of natural rubber, with styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) having the largest production volume. Rubber products need to be sorted and arranged after production. Rubber products are diverse (such as tires, seals, gaskets, shock absorbers, etc.), and even products of the same type may have different sizes, models, materials, or performance requirements (such as hardness and temperature resistance ratings). After production, sorting is necessary to classify products of different specifications to avoid mixing and ensure the accuracy of subsequent stages (such as packaging, warehousing, and delivery). However, while most current rubber sorting devices have solved these problems, they cannot control the feed rate during sorting, easily leading to feed loss and blockages, resulting in limited sorting efficiency and poor arrangement. During vibration arrangement, the surface of rubber products is prone to friction and collision with equipment components, causing scratches, deformation, and other damage, affecting product qualification rates and increasing production costs.

[0013] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1. The automated rubber product sorting and arranging device provided by this utility model, through the design of a sorting tray, a guide plate, an arranging assembly, and an electric push rod, allows the finished rubber products to be sorted and arranged. The products are transported by a conveyor belt, and the guide plate at the upper end of the conveyor belt constrains the flow of products, preventing missed sorting or jamming. The products are guided into a single row into the sorting slot of the sorting tray. A rotary motor starts, driving the sorting tray to rotate via a rotating rod, and the products enter the sorting slot through the guide plate. An industrial camera then takes a picture after being triggered by a photoelectric sensor, identifying color, shape, and classification signals, which are transmitted to the controller. The controller controls the electric push rod in the corresponding sorting slot to move. The piston rod of the electric push rod pushes the push plate, pushing the rubber products out of the sorting slot. Because the push plate surface is coated with an anti-stick coating, it prevents rubber from sticking and causing jamming. The rubber products enter the sorting conveyor belt through the first hole at one end of the partition plate, or are pushed into the other end of the conveyor belt, causing them to fall into the arranging assembly. This improves sorting efficiency, arranges the sorted rubber products neatly, and facilitates subsequent packaging, storage, and other operations, improving product uniformity.

[0015] 2. The automated rubber product sorting and arranging device provided by this utility model, through the design of a fixed disc, a rotating disc, a worm gear disc, and a collection plate, allows the rubber products to fall from the product conveyor belt or sorting conveyor belt into the corresponding worm gear disc. The drive motor is activated, causing the rotating disc to rotate. The worm gear disc is fixed to the support base plate by connecting rods on both sides, thus preventing it from rotating with the rotating disc. Due to the rotation of the rotating disc, the rubber products, under the guidance of centrifugal force and the worm gear disc, slide through the notch in the inner ring of the worm gear disc and along the guide slope into the arranging hole for arrangement. They then enter the surface of the collection plate at the outlet end through the arranging hole. A cylinder retracts, driving the collection plate, which rotates via a rotating shaft, tilting the collection plate and causing the collected rubber products to slide off the surface. This facilitates collection by workers, effectively improving the sorting and arranging efficiency of rubber products, reducing friction damage to the product surface, and avoiding increased production costs.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] The automated sorting and arranging device for rubber products provided in this embodiment, such as Figures 1-6 As shown: It includes a product conveyor belt 1 for transporting rubber products. The product conveyor belt 1 has partitions 106 on both sides. The middle section of the partition 106 is equipped with an installation frame 102. A guide plate 101 is fixedly installed on one end of the inner wall of each of the two partitions 106. A sorting tray 201 is provided at the lower end of the installation frame 102. Several sorting grooves 203 are provided on the outer edge of the sorting tray 201. The sorting grooves 203 are arranged in a circular array. The sorting grooves 203 are periodically aligned with the discharge port of the guide plate 101 as the sorting tray 201 rotates. One side of one of the partitions 106 is provided with a first hole. A sorting conveyor belt 3 is provided at one end of the first hole. Both the product conveyor belt 1 and the sorting conveyor belt 3 are provided with an arrangement component 4 at their lower ends. An industrial camera 103 is mounted on one end of the upper surface of the inner wall of the mounting frame 102, and a photoelectric sensor 104 is mounted on the other end. A rotary motor 2 is located at the center of the upper surface of the mounting frame 102, and the output shaft of the rotary motor 2 is connected to a rotating rod 202. A slot is provided on one side of the rotating rod 202, and a controller 105 is installed in the slot. A sorting tray 201 is fixedly installed on one end of the lower surface of the rotating rod 202. Multiple second holes are provided on one end of the upper surface of the sorting tray 201, and the multiple second holes extend to the sorting groove 203. Electric push rods 205 are installed in the second holes, and the piston rods of the electric push rods 205 are connected to push plates 204. The push plates 204 are located on the surface of the sorting groove 203 and are made of polyurethane with an anti-stick coating. The industrial camera 103 is connected to one end of the controller 105 via a USB interface, the photoelectric sensor 104 is connected to the controller 105 via a digital input module, and the electric push rods 205 are connected to the controller 105 via PWM signal lines.

[0033] Through the design of the sorting tray 201, guide plate 101, arrangement assembly 4, and electric push rod 205, the finished rubber products are transported by the product conveyor belt 1 during the sorting and arrangement process. During transport, the guide plate 101 at the upper end of the product conveyor belt 1 constrains the flow of products, preventing missed picking or jamming due to excessive material. The products are guided into a single row into the sorting groove 203 of the sorting tray 201. The rotary motor 2 starts, driving the sorting tray 201 to rotate via the rotating rod 202, and the products enter the sorting groove 203 from the guide plate 101. Then, the industrial camera 103 takes a picture after being triggered by the photoelectric sensor 104, identifying color and shape. The classification signal is transmitted to the controller 105, which controls the electric push rod 205 in the corresponding sorting groove 203 to move. The piston rod of the electric push rod 205 pushes the push plate 204 to push the rubber products out of the sorting groove 203. Since the surface of the push plate 204 is coated with an anti-stick coating, it can prevent the rubber from sticking and causing jamming. The rubber products can enter the sorting conveyor belt 3 through the first hole at one end of the partition 106, or be pushed into the other end of the product conveyor belt 1, so that they fall into the arrangement component 4. This can improve sorting efficiency, arrange the sorted rubber products neatly, facilitate subsequent packaging, storage and other operations, and improve the neatness of the products.

[0034] Example 2

[0035] The automated sorting and arranging device for rubber products provided in this embodiment, such as Figures 4-6 As shown, the assembly includes: a fixed plate 401, which is located at the lower end of the discharge port of the product conveyor belt 1 and the sorting conveyor belt 3 respectively. A drive motor 410 is provided on the lower surface of the fixed plate 401, and a rotating plate 407 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the fixed plate 401. The output shaft of the drive motor 410 is connected to one end of the lower surface of the rotating plate 407. Two support base plates 402 are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the fixed plate 401. A volute 408 is provided on the upper end of the rotating disk 407. The volute 408 is not attached to the surface of the rotating disk 407. Two connecting rods 411 are fixedly installed around the volute 408. The two connecting rods 411 are respectively installed on one side of the supporting base plate 402. The volute 408 is composed of an outer ring and an inner ring. The space formed between the outer ring and the inner ring is an arrangement hole 409. One end of the inner ring of the volute 408 has a notch. A guide slope is provided at the notch of the inner ring of the volute 408 to guide the rubber product to slide into the arrangement hole 409 from the notch. One end of the supporting base plate 402 is equipped with a slope block 403. One end of the slope block 403 is equipped with a cylinder 404. The extension end of the cylinder 404 is connected to a collecting plate 405. One end of the upper surface of the collecting plate 405 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 406. The rotating shaft 406 is rotatably installed on the lower surface of the discharge port of the arrangement hole 409 in the volute 408. The photoelectric sensor 104 and controller 105 can be either Keyence FS-N11N or Siemens S7-1200, and the industrial camera 103 is a Hikvision MV-CE060.

[0036] Through the design of the fixed disc 401, rotating disc 407, volute disc 408, and collecting plate 405, when the rubber product falls from the product conveyor belt 1 or sorting conveyor belt 3 into the corresponding volute disc 408, the drive motor 410 is started, causing the rotating disc 407 to rotate. The volute disc 408 is fixed to the support base plate 402 by the connecting rods 411 on both sides, so it will not rotate with the rotating disc 407. Due to the rotation of the rotating disc 407, the rubber product is guided by centrifugal force and the volute disc 408. The rubber products are arranged by sliding along the guide slope into the arrangement hole 409 through the notch in the inner ring of the volute disk 408. Then, they enter the surface of the collection plate 405 at the outlet end through the arrangement hole 409. The cylinder 404 retracts and drives the collection plate 405. The collection plate 405 rotates through the rotating shaft 406, causing the collection plate 405 to tilt and slide the collected rubber products off the surface. This makes it convenient for workers to collect the rubber products, which can effectively improve the sorting and arrangement efficiency of rubber products, reduce friction damage to the product surface, and avoid increasing production costs.

[0037] In summary, the automated sorting and arranging device for rubber products provided in this embodiment has the following advantages: by using the guide plate 101 to constrain the flow direction of the products, it avoids missed sorting or jamming of multiple materials, which affects the sorting efficiency, improves the arranging effect, reduces the wear on the surface of the products during arranging, and improves the collection efficiency.

[0038] In use, when sorting and arranging the manufactured rubber products, they are conveyed by the product conveyor belt 1. During conveying, the guide plate 101 at the upper end of the product conveyor belt 1 constrains the flow of products, preventing missed picking or jamming due to excessive material, and guides the products into the sorting groove 203 of the sorting tray 201 in a single row. The rotary motor 2 starts and drives the sorting tray 201 to rotate through the rotating rod 202, and the products enter the sorting groove 203 from the guide plate 101. Then, the industrial camera 103 takes a picture after being triggered by the photoelectric sensor 104, and the color, shape, and classification signals are transmitted to the controller 105. The controller 105 controls the electric push rod 205 in the corresponding sorting groove 203 to move. The piston rod of the electric push rod 205 pushes the push plate 204, pushing the rubber products out of the sorting groove 203 and into the sorting conveyor belt 3 through the first hole at one end of the partition plate 106, or The rubber products are pushed into the other end of the product conveyor belt 1, causing them to fall into the corresponding worm gear disc 408. By starting the drive motor 410, the drive motor 410 drives the rotating disc 407 to rotate. The worm gear disc 408 is fixed to the support base plate 402 by the connecting rods 411 on both sides, so it will not rotate with the rotating disc 407. Due to the rotation of the rotating disc 407, the rubber products, under the centrifugal force and the guiding action of the worm gear disc 408, slide into the arrangement hole 409 through the notch of the inner ring of the worm gear disc 408 and along the guide slope to achieve arrangement. Then, they enter the surface of the collection plate 405 provided at the outlet end through the arrangement hole 409. The cylinder 404 retracts and drives the collection plate 405. The collection plate 405 rotates through the rotating shaft 406, causing the collection plate 405 to tilt and slide the rubber products collected on the surface, thus making it convenient for the staff to collect the rubber products.

[0039] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art should realize that any equivalent substitutions and obvious changes made based on the description and illustrations of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
