[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-6 A linkage for blocking material includes: a blocking mechanism 5, and: two side plates 4: arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the blocking mechanism 5; the blocking mechanism 5 includes a first hinge seat 501 bolted to the inner side of the right side plate 4, and a second hinge seat 502 bolted to the inner side of the right side plate 4 and located behind the first hinge seat 501; a drive cylinder 503: its bottom end is hinged to the second hinge seat 502, and its output end is fixedly connected to a connector 505; a connecting rod 504: one end of which... It is hinged to the first hinge seat 501, and its other end is connected to the drive cylinder 503. The connector 505 is hinged inside the hinge hole 506. When the drive cylinder 503 extends, its telescopic end can drive the connecting rod 504 to rotate around the first hinge seat 501, and the connecting rod 504 blocks the material. Conversely, when the drive cylinder 503 retracts, it drives the connecting rod 504 to release the material flow, so that the material can continue to be conveyed. It not only makes the material conveyed in an orderly manner, but also has a compact structure that does not occupy space.

[0026] Furthermore, a hinge hole 506 is provided in the middle of the other end of the connecting rod 504, and the end of the connector 505 away from the drive cylinder 503 is hinged to the inside of the hinge hole 506; wherein the connector 505 is hinged in the hinge hole 506, which optimizes the movement space between the drive cylinder 503 and the connecting rod 504, making the structure more compact.

[0027] Furthermore, the other end of the connecting rod 504 is close to the right side plate 4; the other end of the connecting rod 504 is close to the material flow channel 6, which facilitates the blocking and passage of materials.

[0028] This utility model also provides a material separation integrated conveyor, including the aforementioned connecting rod blocking material, including a frame 1, and: a belt conveyor 2: fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1; a support mechanism: installed at the rear end of the belt conveyor 2; a flow channel 6: installed above the rear end of the belt conveyor 2 and close to the right side plate 4; a separation mechanism 7, installed on the rear side of the support mechanism and corresponding to the flow channel 6; wherein the frame 1 and the belt conveyor 2 are prior art, and will not be described in detail here; the blocking mechanism 5 is located on the left side of the rear end of the belt conveyor 2 and is suspended above the belt conveyor 22, so that it does not contact the belt conveyor 2 and will not interfere. When the drive cylinder 503 extends, the connecting rod 504 can reduce the distance between itself and the right side plate 4, thereby blocking the flow channel 6 and blocking the material; conversely, the distance between the connecting rod 504 and the right side plate 4 increases, so that the connecting rod 504 releases the material from obstruction.

[0029] Furthermore, both side panels 4 are fixedly installed at the left and right ends of the top of the frame 1 by multiple connecting corner plates 3; the connecting corner plates 3 can increase the convenience and stability of the installation of the side panels 4.

[0030] Furthermore, the support mechanism includes a base plate 9 bolted to the bottom of the frame 1, and a tail plate 10: bolted to the upper surface of the end of the base plate 9 away from the frame 1, with an arc-shaped groove on one side of the tail plate 10, which corresponds to the belt conveyor 2; and a support plate 8: bolted to the right side of the frame 1 and corresponding to the side plate 4 on the same side; wherein the arc-shaped groove on the tail plate 10 cooperates with one end of the belt conveyor 2, optimizing the installation space of the flow channel 6 and the staggered mechanism 7, making the two cooperate more harmoniously with the blocking mechanism 5, which is conducive to the smooth conveying of materials.

[0031] Furthermore, the flow channel 6 includes a first guide plate 11 bolted to the top of one end of the tail plate 10, and a second guide plate 12 bolted to the top of the other end of the tail plate 10; a U-shaped plate 13, one end of which is bolted to the top of the end of the first guide plate 11 away from the tail plate 10, and the other end of which is bolted to the top of the right side plate 4; wherein the first guide plate 11, the second guide plate 12, the U-shaped plate 13 and the belt conveyor 2 form a flow channel 6 for guiding the material.

[0032] Furthermore, the misalignment mechanism 7 includes a fixed plate 701 bolted to the rear side of the base plate 9, and: a slot plate 702 bolted to the middle of the upper surface of the fixed plate 701; a guide rail 703 bolted to the middle of the top of the slot plate 702; two baffles 704 bolted to the two ends of the slot plate 702 respectively; a misalignment cylinder 705 bolted to the middle of the top of the left baffle 704; a moving plate 707, one end of which is bolted to the output end of the misalignment cylinder 705 via a connecting sleeve; and a sliding block 706, the bottom end of which is slidably fitted to the guide rail 703. The top of the plate is bolted to the bottom of the moving plate 707; the limiting plate 708 is bolted to the middle of the top of the moving plate 707; the limiting hole 709 is located in the middle of one end of the limiting plate 708; under the reciprocating push of the misalignment cylinder 705, the moving plate 707 can drive the sliding block 706 to slide back and forth on the guide rail 703. Each back and forth is a material transfer process. By repeating this cycle, the attitude control and misalignment feeding of ultra-large materials can be performed, which makes up for the limitation of the vibratory plate not being able to supply ultra-large materials.

[0033] Furthermore, a channel for material flow is formed between the first guide plate 11, the second guide plate 12, the belt conveyor 2, and the U-shaped plate 13. The limiting hole 709 corresponds to the channel. A mounting post 710 is bolted to the middle of the rear end of the trough plate 702. Sensors are fixedly installed on the top of the mounting post 710 and the upper surface of the rear end of the first guide plate 11, respectively. The material in the flow channel 6 is conveyed to the limiting hole 709 by the belt conveyor 2, and then conveyed by the staggered cylinder 705. The sensor 14 can detect that there is no material in the flow channel 6, and thus transmit the signal to the external controller, which controls the opening and closing of the drive cylinder 503 and the staggered cylinder 705.

[0034] Furthermore, a mounting plate 15 with a clearance groove is bolted to the front side of the top end of the trough plate 702 away from the misalignment cylinder 705. A pusher cylinder 17 is bolted to the front side of the mounting plate 15 through a support frame 16. A pusher head is sleeved on the output end of the pusher cylinder 17, and the pusher head slides through the clearance groove on the mounting plate 15. The pusher cylinder 17 can push out the material conveyed by the misalignment cylinder 705, which facilitates the subsequent material conveying and pushing out.

[0035] Working principle and usage process of this utility model:

[0036] In operation, materials are conveyed on the belt conveyor 2. After the misalignment mechanism 7 detects that the material is full, the external controller controls the drive cylinder 503 to extend. The drive cylinder 503 drives the connecting rod 504 to move closer to the right side plate 4. The connecting rod 504 can block all materials waiting to enter the flow channel 6. At this time, the external controller controls the misalignment cylinder 705 and the pusher cylinder 17 to extend. The misalignment cylinder 705 can drive the sliding block 706 to move on the guide rail 703 through the moving plate 707. At the same time, the moving plate 707... The limiting plate 708 is moved, so that the material is conveyed to the pushing cylinder 14 by the limiting hole 709. The unloading cylinder 17 can push out the conveyed material. After the misalignment mechanism 7 completes the material transfer, the sensor 14 detects that there is no material in the flow channel 6. Then the external controller controls the drive cylinder 503 to retract, and the material continues to flow to the flow channel 6. The misalignment mechanism 7 continues to work. This process is repeated. This mechanism can perform attitude control and misalignment feeding of ultra-large materials, which makes up for the limitation of vibratory feeders in supplying ultra-large materials.

[0037] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.
