Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of reciprocating push structure technology, and in particular to a sorting and conveying reciprocating sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of logistics, e-commerce, and warehousing industries, various sorting systems are widely used in the automated sorting and transportation of packages, parts, and other materials. Traditional manual sorting methods are inefficient and prone to errors, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-volume, high-efficiency sorting.
[0003] Existing sorting and conveying systems generally consist of a conveyor belt, a pushing mechanism, a control unit, and multiple receiving ports. Materials move on the conveyor belt; once the detection device identifies the material information, the control system instructs the pushing device to activate, pushing the material horizontally into the corresponding sorting port. The pushing mechanism typically uses a cylinder or electric push rod, reciprocating along a guide rail to complete the sorting task. This structure is relatively simple, with low manufacturing and maintenance costs, and is suitable for the automated sorting of most industrial materials.
[0004] Existing sorting and conveying devices often lack effective guiding or limiting structures during material transport, making it easy for materials to shift laterally on the conveyor belt. When materials deviate from the centerline and enter the pushing area, the pushing device struggles to accurately align and push them, leading to incomplete or incorrect pushing, or even sending materials to the wrong receiving port, thus affecting overall sorting accuracy and efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a sorting and conveying reciprocating sorting device, which aims to improve the problem that existing sorting and conveying devices lack effective limiting structures during material conveying, and are prone to lateral deviation, causing materials to be mistakenly sent into non-target receiving ports.

[0009] Furthermore, the guardrail is internally threaded to the outer wall of the threaded rod, and the conveyor belt is internally equipped with rollers.
[0010] Furthermore, a bracket is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the guardrail, and a sensor is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the bracket.
[0011] Furthermore, a fixed frame is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the machine body, and a sorting basket is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the fixed frame.

[0015] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0016] 1. In this utility model, a hydraulic rod drives a connecting plate, and two connecting columns are connected to the outer wall of the connecting plate. The two connecting plates are connected to the outer walls of two racks. By pushing the connecting plate, the racks move horizontally. The racks mesh with the gears, causing the connecting plate to slide in the internal groove, which drives the connecting plate to move horizontally. This allows the connecting columns to limit and clamp the material, centering the material. This effectively solves the problem of the material not being pushed into place or being pushed into the wrong sorting port.
[0017] 2. In this utility model, by rotating the threaded rod, one end of the threaded rod is connected to a connecting block via a thread. A roller is connected to the outer wall of the connecting block, and a conveyor belt is provided on the outer wall of the roller.

At the same time, a limit groove is opened inside the guardrail, and one end of a limit rod is connected to the connecting block. The limit rod is also set in the limit groove inside the guardrail. By rotating the threaded rod, the connecting block moves horizontally inside the guardrail, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the roller, thereby adjusting the tension of the moving plate, reducing the problem of the conveyor belt running to one side or slipping, which affects the sorting accuracy.

[0029] Working Principle: When a sorting and conveying reciprocating sorting device is needed, the materials to be processed are first placed sequentially on the surface of conveyor belt 3 located at the top of the device. Conveyor belt 3, driven by a drive mechanism, continuously conveys the materials forward along a fixed track. During transmission, the materials enter an identification area set in the middle of the transmission path. Sensors 6, deployed above this area, collect material information in real time, such as color, size, code, or material, and send the collected data to the back-end control system for intelligent identification and classification. The control system quickly determines the category of the material based on a preset identification algorithm and matches it to the appropriate sorting exit position. When a material is about to reach the area above its corresponding conveyor belt 24, the control system issues a command to activate hydraulic rod 11. Hydraulic rod 11 pushes the connected connecting plate 16 horizontally. Two connecting columns 15 are provided on both sides of the connecting plate 16. The lower ends of the connecting columns 15 are fixed to the outer wall of the rack 17 located inside the machine body. Through synchronous pushing of the connecting rod 16... The connecting plate 16 drives the rack 17 to reciprocate in the horizontal direction. The rack 17 and the gear 18 installed at the bottom are precisely meshed, thereby driving the connecting plate 16 to slide smoothly along the slide groove 19 installed in the connecting block 10. This allows the connecting column 15 to clamp the material and automatically center and position it, ensuring that the material is in the precise pushing position. This solves the problem of sorting errors caused by offset or misalignment in traditional equipment. At this time, the moving plate 13 set on one side of the device begins to reciprocate along the set trajectory on the fixed frame 8. The moving plate 13 and the object on its upper part are a moving trolley. The motor 12 on the outer wall of the moving trolley drives the matching conveyor belt 24 to rotate back and forth, accurately pushing out the clamped material and pushing it into the corresponding sorting basket 7 along the front edge of the conveyor belt 24. After the material is successfully sorted, the moving trolley is driven by the motor 12 to quickly return to the initial position and cooperates with the sensor 6 to perform sorting and reset actions, which efficiently connects to the next round of sorting operations, greatly improving sorting efficiency and accuracy.
[0030] In addition, to ensure the stability and accuracy of the entire device during long-term operation, a special anti-deviation and tension adjustment mechanism for conveyor belt 3 is installed. During actual operation, if conveyor belt 3 experiences slippage or deviation, it will directly affect the accurate placement of materials in the identification area and sorting position, causing sorting errors. To solve this problem, operators can manually adjust the threaded rod 4 located on one side of the device. One end of the threaded rod 4 is threadedly connected to a connecting block 20. The outer wall of the connecting block 20 is equipped with a rotatable roller 14. The outer wall of the roller 14 is in contact with the conveyor belt 3, providing support and guidance for its movement trajectory. A pulley 21 is connected inside the connecting block 20. 21 is installed inside the guardrail 2 via the rotating shaft 23 and slides inside the guardrail 2. At the same time, the guardrail 2 structure has a limiting groove for limiting the range of motion. One end of the limiting rod 22 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 20, and the other end is embedded in the limiting groove. By adjusting the rotation direction of the threaded rod 4, the connecting block 20 can be controlled to make precise horizontal movement inside the guardrail 2, so as to achieve fine adjustment of the position of the roller 14. This adjustment can not only correct the tension and deviation of the conveyor belt 3, but also enhance the overall stability of the moving plate 13 during operation, prevent positioning deviation and jamming caused by inconsistent tension, thereby effectively extending the service life of the device and ensuring the continuity and efficiency of material sorting operations.
