AI Technical Summary
When feeding through a single opening, existing all-metal sorting machines tend to accumulate waste into bundles or make it too thick in certain areas, resulting in uneven detection signals and compression of the eddy current magnetic field area, which affects the sorting effect.
The system employs a dispersing plate and multiple sets of partition plates working together with a conveyor belt to first break up the waste material and then divide it into multiple independent feed streams. The opening and closing plates are driven by a motor to repeatedly open and close, ensuring that the waste material is evenly spread on the conveyor belt.
It effectively avoids local accumulation of waste materials, reduces the risk of missed detection and idle waste, improves the stability and accuracy of sorting, and increases the processing capacity per unit time.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal sorting, and in particular to an all-metal sorting machine. Background Technology
[0002] All-metal sorting machines are devices that utilize various physical properties, such as electromagnetic induction, X-ray penetration, and optical recognition, to efficiently classify mixed metals. They are widely used in resource recycling, mineral processing, and industrial waste treatment.
[0003] During operation, waste material is first fed into the conveyor belt inside the device through the conical feed inlet. Then, the waste material is pulled into the sorting bin on the device by the conveyor belt, where various sorting devices sort the waste material.
[0004] Considering that when inputting waste, it is usually collected from a single point and fed into the downstream conveyor belt through a single opening, this can easily lead to the waste "piling up into bundles" or "localized excessive thickness" on the conveyor belt. Especially for large-volume feeds, this can easily obstruct detection signals, such as uneven X-ray penetration and compression of the eddy current magnetic field area. Therefore, an all-metal sorting machine is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] 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.
[0032] Reference Figures 1-3This utility model provides an embodiment of an all-metal sorting machine, including a base 1. The base 1 provides a stable support foundation for the entire equipment, preventing shaking during operation. A feed hopper 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer surface of the base 1 via a column 4. The column 4 connects and supports the feed hopper 3, ensuring that the feed hopper 3 is at a suitable height and position. A partition plate 8 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the feed hopper 3. The partition plate 8 can divert the waste entering the feed hopper 3, preventing waste from accumulating. A traction column 11 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the partition plate 8 for traction. The column 11 can slide within the partition plate 8, providing power for the flipping of the opening and closing plate 9. The bottom of the inner surface of the traction column 11 is hinged to a hinge plate 10, which plays the role of transmitting power and converting the movement of the traction column 11 into the flipping force of the opening and closing plate 9. The outer surface of the hinge plate 10 is hinged to the opening and closing plate 9. By flipping, the opening and closing degree of the feed hopper 3 can be adjusted, thereby controlling the feed amount. The outer surface of the opening and closing plate 9 is hinged to the outer surface of the partition plate 8, so that the opening and closing plate 9 can flip about the hinge point with the partition plate 8 as the axis. The outer surface of the feed hopper 3 is provided with a guide component 5.
[0033] Reference Figure 2 The guide assembly 5 provides guidance and support for the movement of the traction column 11, ensuring the stability of the movement of the traction column 11. The guide assembly 5 includes a support plate A501, the outer surface of which is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer surface of the feed hopper 3. The support plate A501 is used to fix and support the guide column 502. The guide column 502 is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the support plate A501. The guide column 502 guides the movement of the traction plate 13, ensuring that the traction plate 13 moves in a straight line. The outer surface of the guide column 502 is slidably connected to the traction plate 13. The traction plate 13 can drive the traction column 11 to move. The outer surface of the traction column 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the outer surface of the traction plate 13, so that the movement of the traction plate 13 can be synchronously transmitted to the traction column 11.
[0034] Reference Figure 2 The guide assembly 5 also includes a support plate B503. The outer surface of the support plate B503 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer surface of the feed hopper 3. The support plate B503 cooperates with the support plate A501 to fix the guide column 502 and improve the stability of the guide column 502. The right side of the outer surface of the guide column 502 penetrates and is fixedly connected to the inner surface of the support plate B503, further enhancing the firmness of the guide column 502 installation.
[0035] Reference Figures 2-4An adjusting bolt 6 is rotatably connected through the inner surface of the support plate B503, providing rotational support for the adjusting bolt 6 and enabling its stable rotation. A threaded sleeve 7 is fixedly connected through the middle of the inner surface of the traction plate 13. The threaded sleeve 7 cooperates with the adjusting bolt 6, converting the rotational motion of the adjusting bolt 6 into the linear motion of the traction plate 13. The outer surface of the adjusting bolt 6 is threadedly connected to the inner surface of the threaded sleeve 7, driving the traction plate 13 through the threaded transmission. The bottom end of the outer surface of the traction plate 13 is slidably connected to the right side of the outer surface of the feed hopper 3. Next, the movement direction of the traction plate 13 is restricted so that it can only slide laterally along the outer surface of the feed hopper 3. The top of the outer surface of the feed hopper 3 is fixedly connected to the motor 15, which provides a fixed support for the motor 15. The output end of the motor 15 is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer surface of the adjusting bolt 6, so that the motor 15 can repeatedly drive the adjusting bolt 6 to rotate forward and backward, thereby driving the opening and closing plate 9 to repeatedly open and close through the traction plate 13. This disperses the waste material discharged from the feed hopper 3, preventing the waste material from accumulating in small mountains on the conveyor belt 12.
[0036] Reference Figures 2-4 The outer surface of the partition plate 8 is tapered on the left. The tapered design facilitates the smooth diversion of waste under the guidance of the partition plate 8, reducing waste accumulation. There are three sets of partition plates 8, all arranged on the right side of the inner surface of the feed hopper 3. Multiple sets of partition plates 8 can divert waste into multiple independent feed streams, improving the dispersion effect. There are two opening and closing plates 9, which are symmetrically hinged on the left and right sides of the partition plate 8. The two opening and closing plates 9 can work together to better control the feed amount at the corresponding position.
[0037] Reference Figures 1-2 , Figure 4 The inner surface of the base 1 is provided with a conveyor belt 12, which is used to transport the waste material falling from the feed hopper 3 into the sorting bin 2. The sorting bin 2 is fixedly connected to the right side of the outer surface of the base 1. The sorting bin 2 is the core component for metal sorting of waste material. There are two sets of columns 4, one set of columns 4 with a higher height and the other set of columns 4 with a lower height. The different heights of the columns 4 make the feed hopper 3 tilted, which facilitates the falling of waste material under the action of gravity. The left side of the inner surface of the feed hopper 3 is fixedly connected with a dispersing plate 14. There are multiple sets of dispersing plates 14, which are evenly and dispersedly fixed to the left side of the inner surface of the feed hopper 3. When the waste material enters the feed hopper 3, the multiple sets of dispersing plates 14 can first break up the clumps of waste material, and then the multiple sets of partition plates 8 can divert the waste material. This is to avoid the situation where the waste material is not diverted by the partition plates 8 on both sides when it enters the feed hopper 3, which would result in the waste material not being evenly distributed and spread on the conveyor belt 12.
[0038] Working principle: During sorting, waste material is first poured into the left side of the feed hopper 3, allowing it to enter the hopper. Inside the feed hopper 3, the waste material is first dispersed by the dispersing plate 14, which then divides it into multiple independent feed streams under the action of multiple sets of partition plates 8. This results in the waste material being spread evenly and dispersed at multiple points on the downstream conveyor belt 12, preventing signal attenuation or missed detection due to excessively thick waste in some areas, and also preventing equipment idling and waste due to excessively thin waste in some areas. Then, the evenly dispersed waste material is pulled into the sorting bin 2 by the conveyor belt 12 and sorted by the sorting bin 2.
[0039] Furthermore, during feeding, the motor 15 drives the rotating adjusting bolt 6 to repeatedly rotate forward and backward. When the adjusting bolt 6 rotates forward and backward, it will drive the traction plate 13 to move laterally along the outer surface of the feed hopper 3 due to the threaded connection between the adjusting bolt 6 and the threaded sleeve 7 inside the traction plate 13. When the traction plate 13 moves laterally, it simultaneously drives multiple sets of traction columns 11 to move laterally along the interior of multiple sets of partition plates 8. The multiple sets of traction columns 11 drive multiple sets of opening and closing plates 9 to repeatedly open and close along the outer surface of the partition plates 8 through multiple sets of hinge plates 10. Thus, the motor 15 drives the multiple sets of opening and closing plates 9 to repeatedly open and close, so that when the waste material inside the feed hopper 3 is discharged in bundles, it can be dispersed by the repeatedly opening and closing opening and closing plates 9, so as to prevent it from accumulating on the conveyor belt 12.
