Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding material processing technology, specifically a welding wire sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing process of various devices and equipment, sorting of flexible materials is often required. Taking welding wire as an example, in the field of welding material processing, welding wire is usually stored and transported in coils, and needs to be accurately sorted according to specifications or types before use. To achieve efficient sorting, existing technologies disclose a sorting structure based on the linkage between guide components and sorting parts, such as patent publication number CN111774313B, published on December 2, 2022. This technology sets up a guide path composed of multiple straight and turning segments, and uses the sorting parts to move along the path to unload items. This design is more flexible in spatial layout and can adapt to multi-point sorting needs.
[0003] However, this device does not address the sorting of unprocessed welding wire in coils. When handling flexible materials such as welding wire, the wire itself lacks rigid support and is prone to slippage and displacement in the guide path. This characteristic can lead to positional deviations in the welding wire during sorting, affecting positioning accuracy and even causing missorting. Therefore, there is a need in the art for a technical solution that can improve sorting stability and accuracy by taking into account the characteristics of flexible materials. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a welding wire sorting device.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a welding wire sorting device, comprising: a main housing with an inlet at one end and an outlet at the top; a sorting component disposed inside the main housing, wherein the swaying component is driven by a swaying drive component to sort the wires, and then the lifting component discharges the welding wires through an internal gear set; and a pushing component disposed on one side of the main housing, used to discharge welding wires that have not been sorted or whose size is not up to standard for secondary sorting.
[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0007] The sorting assembly includes: a sorting plate, which is set inside the main housing and has multiple grooves inside, corresponding to the diameter of the welding wire. It is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main housing through a rotating rod at one end, and two sets of support plates are symmetrically arranged at the bottom; the support plate abuts against the grooves opened inside the swing plate at its bottom.
[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0009] The swing assembly includes: a swing plate, disposed inside the main housing and connected to the swing drive assembly below, for transmitting the force of the swing drive assembly to the material distribution plate; and a baffle plate, disposed at one end of the material distribution plate and slidably connected to the first groove of the positioning plate on one side of the inner wall of the main housing via an internally disposed slider.
[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0011] The swing drive assembly includes: a first motor, located at the bottom inner side of the main housing, with its output end connected to the rotating disk; a connecting rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to the rotating disk, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the connecting block at the bottom of the swing plate, converting the rotational motion of the rotating disk into the linear motion of the swing plate driven by the connecting block; and a rotating column, located below the swing plate, with both ends rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main housing, for providing support for the swing plate.
[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0013] The lifting assembly includes: a second motor, located above the swing plate, for driving the gear set; a fixed column, located above the swing plate, internally slidably connected to the sliding column, and externally slidably connected to the second slide groove via a slider; and a second slide groove, located at the bottom of the distribution plate, for guiding the sliding column.

[0015] The gear set includes: a gear connected to the output end of the second motor and meshing with a rack, used to transmit the rotational force of the second motor to the sliding column; and a rack arranged along the height direction on the surface of the sliding column, used to convert the rotational motion of the gear into the linear motion of the sliding column along the fixed column, while simultaneously pushing the slider on the surface of the fixed column to move along the direction of the second groove.
[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:
[0017] The pushing assembly includes: a pushing block disposed inside one side of the main housing and connected to the cylinder output end through the side wall of the main housing; a cylinder disposed outside the main housing for driving the pushing block to discharge the unsorted welding wire from the circulating discharge port; and a circulating discharge port located on the side of the main housing away from the cylinder.
[0018] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. The mechanical transmission enables precise sorting of welding wire and handling of defective products. The swing drive component drives the sorting plate to swing, so that the welding wire falls into the corresponding slot, preventing slippage and deviation that may affect the positioning accuracy.

[0031] Example 1:
[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the welding wire sorting device provided in this embodiment includes: a main housing 1 with an inlet 11 at one end and an outlet 12 at the top; a sorting component 2 disposed inside the main housing 1, which is driven by a swing drive component to sort the wires, and then the lifting component discharges the welding wires through an internal gear set 215; and a pushing component 3 disposed on one side of the main housing 1, which is used to discharge welding wires that have not been sorted or whose size is not up to standard for secondary sorting.
[0033] In this embodiment, the main housing, the sorting assembly, and the pushing assembly constitute a welding wire sorting device according to this application.
[0034] It should also be noted that the welding wire enters from the feed port 11, the swing drive component drives the sorting component to swing and sort the wire, the lifting component discharges qualified welding wire from the discharge port 12 through the gear set, and the pushing component discharges unqualified welding wire, thus realizing the sorting of welding wire and the discharge of unqualified products.
[0035] Example 2:
[0036] Based on Example 1, in order to prevent the welding wire from deviating in position during the sorting process, which would affect the positioning accuracy or even cause missorting, a sorting component was added.
[0037] Specifically, the sorting component 2 includes: a sorting plate 21, which is set inside the main housing 1 and has multiple grooves inside, corresponding to the diameter of the welding wire. It is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main housing 1 through a rotating rod at one end, and two sets of support plates 22 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom; the bottom of the support plate 22 abuts against the groove opened inside the swing plate 23.
[0038] In this embodiment, the material distribution plate 21 moves back and forth through the force of the swing drive assembly transmitted by the support plate 22, causing the material distribution plate 21 to swing so that the welding wire falls into the corresponding groove to complete the material distribution.
[0039] Specifically, the swing assembly includes: a swing plate 23, which is disposed inside the main housing 1 and connected to the swing drive assembly below, for transmitting the force of the swing drive assembly to the material distribution plate 21; and a baffle plate 24, which is disposed at one end of the material distribution plate 21 and is slidably connected to the first slide groove 25 of the positioning plate on one side of the inner wall of the main housing 1 through an internally disposed slider.
[0040] In a preferred embodiment, the swing plate 23 is driven to swing, and the baffle plate 24 restricts the welding wire inside the distribution plate 21 to prevent the welding wire from falling off, ensuring that the position of the welding wire is fixed when the distribution plate 21 swings. Furthermore, the sliding connection between the slider on the side of the baffle plate 24 and the first groove opened inside the positioning plate on one side of the inner wall of the main housing 1 enables quick disassembly.
[0041] Specifically, the swing drive assembly includes: a first motor 26, located at the bottom inner side of the main housing 1, with its output end connected to the rotating disk 27; a connecting rod 28, one end of which is rotatably connected to the rotating disk 27, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the connecting block 29 at the bottom of the swing plate 23, converting the rotational motion of the rotating disk 27 into the linear motion of the swing plate 23 driven by the connecting block 29; and a rotating column 210, located below the swing plate 23, with both ends rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main housing 1, for providing support for the swing plate 23.
[0042] In this embodiment, the first motor 26 drives the rotating disk 27 to swing the swing plate 23 back and forth above the rotating column 210 via the connecting rod 28, and drives the material distribution plate 21 to move synchronously via the support plate 22, thus providing power to the material distribution plate.
[0043] Specifically, the lifting assembly includes: a second motor 211, located above the swing plate 23, for driving the gear set 215; a fixed column 212, located above the swing plate 23, internally slidably connected to the sliding column 213, and externally slidably connected to the second slide groove 214 via a slider; the second slide groove 214, located at the bottom of the distribution plate 21, for providing guidance for the sliding column 213.
[0044] With this configuration, the second motor drives the gear set, causing the sliding column 213 to slide up and down within the fixed column 212. At the same time, the slider above the sliding column 213 moves along the second slide groove 214, causing the material distribution plate 21 to rotate and tilt along the rotating rod that is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the main housing 1 at the other end, so that the welding wire slides down to the discharge port 12.
[0045] Specifically, the gear 215 group includes: a gear 215, which is connected to the output end of the second motor 211 and meshes with a rack 216, for transmitting the rotational force of the second motor 211 to the sliding column 213; and a rack 216, which is arranged along the height direction on the surface of the sliding column 213, for converting the rotational motion of the gear 215 into the linear motion of the sliding column 213 along the fixed column 212, while pushing the slider on the surface of the fixed column 212 to move along the direction of the second groove 214.
[0046] Among them, the rotation of gear 215 drives rack 216 to move sliding column 213 up and down, so that sliding column 213 and fixed column 212 are linked to achieve the action of lifting one end of material distribution plate 21.
[0047] Specifically, the pushing component 3 includes: a pushing block 31, which is located inside one side of the main housing 1 and is connected to the output end of the cylinder 33 through the side wall of the main housing 1; a cylinder 33, which is located outside the main housing 1 and is used to drive the welding wire that has not been sorted by the pushing block 31 to be discharged from the circulation discharge port 32; and the circulation discharge port 32 is located on the side of the main housing 1 away from the cylinder 33.
[0048] In this embodiment, the cylinder 33 extends and retracts, driving the push block 31 to move linearly, pushing out the unqualified welding wire from the side circulation discharge port 32, thus completing the secondary sorting and discharge of the unqualified welding wire.
[0049] In actual use, the welding wire is first introduced into the main housing 1 through the feed port 11. The first motor 26 is started, and the first motor 26 drives the rotating disk 27 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating disk 27 drives the connecting rod 28 to push the connecting block 29. The connecting block 29 drives the swing plate 23 to move synchronously. At the same time, the swing plate 23 drives the material distribution plate 21 to move back and forth synchronously through the support plate 22, so that the welding wire enters the multiple slots opened inside the material distribution plate 21 evenly.
[0050] After the initial sorting is completed, cylinder 33 is activated. Cylinder 33 drives the sorting plate 21 to discharge the unsorted welding wire from the circulation discharge port 32 for secondary sorting.
[0051] Finally, the second motor 211 is started, which drives the gear 215 to rotate. The gear 215 is connected to the rack 216 through meshing, which converts the rotational motion of the gear 215 into the rack 216 driving the sliding column 213 to move linearly along the fixed column 212. At the same time, the slider above the sliding column 213 moves along the second slide groove 214, so that the sliding column 213 pushes the material distribution plate 21 to be lifted along the rotating rod on one side of the material distribution plate 21. Then the baffle plate 24 is taken out along the direction of the first slide groove 25, and the sorted welding wire is discharged from the outlet 12.
[0052] The first motor 26, cylinder 33, and second motor 211 are all electrically connected to the controller. The controller is a common existing controller, and the opening of each component is adjusted by setting the time.
[0053] It should be noted that all electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power. The main controller can be a conventional known device that can be controlled by a computer or other means. The detailed description of known functions and known components is omitted in the specific implementation of this disclosure. In order to ensure the compatibility of the device, the operating methods used are consistent with the parameters of commercially available instruments.
[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
