[0027] 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.

[0028] As described in the background section, there are shortcomings in the existing technology. In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this application proposes an automatic sorting device based on counting.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] Please see Figures 1-7 An automatic sorting device based on counting includes a transport platform 1, transport devices 2 on both sides of the transport platform 1, a conveying component 3 and a rotating clamping component 4 in the middle of the transport platform 1, and a counting component 5 fixedly installed on the transport platform 1.

[0031] The transport device 2 includes a drive unit 21 and a transport belt 22;

[0032] The conveying assembly 3 includes multiple conveyor belts 31, which transport the workpieces on the conveyor belt 22 to one side of the rotating clamping assembly 4;

[0033] The rotating clamping assembly 4 includes a rotating member 41 and clamping members 42 disposed around the rotating member 41. The clamping members 42 clamp the workpiece transported on the conveyor belt 31. The rotating member 41 drives the clamped workpiece to rotate upward and transport it to the other side of the rotating member 41.

[0034] The counting component 5 includes a counting sensor 51, which is located on one side of the rotating component 41. During the rotation of the workpiece driven by the rotating component 41, the counting sensor 51 detects the movement of the clamping component 42, converts it into an electrical signal, and then the counter processes and outputs the cumulative value.

[0035] Specifically, the product is placed on the conveyor belt 22, which transports multiple products to the conveyor belt 31. The conveyor belt 31 then transports the product to one side of the clamping member 42. Through the contact of the clamping member 42, multiple products are neatly arranged on one side of the clamping member 42. The clamping member 42 then clamps the neatly arranged products. The rotating member 41 drives the clamping member 42 to rotate, causing the clamping member 42 to move the product from one side of the rotating member 41 to the other side. While rotating around the rotating member 41, the clamping member 42 also rotates itself to ensure that the bottom of the product remains in contact with the conveyor belt 31 or the conveyor belt 22 after it has been moved to the other side. During the process of the rotating member 41 driving the clamping member 42 to rotate, the counting sensor 51 detects the movement of the clamping member 42, converts it into an electrical signal, and then the counter processes and outputs the accumulated value.

[0036] The clamping component 42 clamps the transported items, and the rotating component 41 rotates the clamped items onto the conveyor belt 22 on the other side. When the rotating component 41 moves the clamping component 42 and the items, the counting sensor 51 detects the movement of the clamping component 42, converts it into an electrical signal, and then the counter processes and outputs the cumulative value, thereby performing detailed quantity detection of the items on the conveyor belt 22. This solves the problem that conventional sorting machines are difficult to count in detail during the handling of items due to the disorderly placement of items, which leads to inaccurate counting during the sorting process.

[0037] Example 2:

[0038] See Figures 1-7 The driving component 21 includes a first motor 211. Multiple conveying rollers 212 are rotatably connected to the conveying platform 1 via bearings. A conveyor belt 22 is sleeved on the multiple conveying rollers 212. Two sets of first gears 213 are rotatably connected to the conveying platform 1 via bearings. One of the conveying rollers 212 is fixedly connected to one of the first gears 213. The first motor 211 is fixedly installed on the conveying platform 1. The output end of the first motor 211 is fixedly connected to the other first gear 213. A first toothed belt 214 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the two first gears 213. The first toothed belt 214 meshes with the two first gears 213.

[0039] Specifically, two conveyor belts 22 are located on the left and right sides of the conveyor platform 1, respectively. The first motor 211 drives one of the first gears 213 to rotate. Through the meshing connection between the two first gears 213 and the first toothed belt 214, when one of the first gears 213 rotates, it drives the other first gear 213 to rotate, thereby driving the other conveyor roller 212 to rotate. Through the sleeve connection between the conveyor belt 22 and multiple conveyor rollers 212, when the conveyor rollers 212 rotate, they drive the conveyor belt 22 to rotate, thereby transporting materials through the conveyor belt 22.

[0040] Example 3:

[0041] See Figures 1-7 The conveying assembly 3 includes a second motor 32. Both sides of the conveying platform 1 are rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 33 via bearings. Multiple upper conveying wheels 34 are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 33. Multiple movable shafts 35 are rotatably connected to the conveying platform 1 via bearings. Multiple lower conveying wheels 36 are fixedly connected to the movable shafts 35. The conveyor belt 31 is sleeved on the multiple upper conveying wheels 34 and the multiple lower conveying wheels 36. The conveyor belt 31 between the two rotating shafts 33 is in a horizontal state and its top surface is flush with the top surface of the conveyor belt 22. There are gaps between the multiple conveyor belts 31.

[0042] The second motor 32 is fixedly installed on the transport platform 1. Two second gears 37 are rotatably connected to the transport platform 1 via bearings. One of the second gears 37 is fixedly connected to one of the movable shafts 35, and the other second gear 37 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 32. A second toothed belt 38 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the two second gears 37, and the second toothed belt 38 meshes with the second gears 37.

[0043] Specifically, the second motor 32 operates, driving one of the second gears 37 to rotate. Through the meshing connection between the two second gears 37 and the second toothed belt 38, it drives the other second gear 37 to rotate, thereby driving the movable shaft 35 to rotate, which in turn drives multiple lower conveyor wheels 36 to rotate. Through the sleeve between the conveyor belt 22 and the lower conveyor wheels 36 and the upper conveyor wheels 34, when the multiple lower conveyor wheels 36 on one of the movable shafts 35 rotate, they drive the conveyor belt 31 to rotate. And through the arrangement of the two rotating shafts 33 on both sides of the top of the conveyor platform 1, the conveyor belt 31 at the top middle of the conveyor platform 1 is in a horizontal state, and the top surface of the horizontal section of the conveyor belt 31 is level with the top surface of the conveyor belt 22. There is a gap between the multiple conveyor belts 31 so that the clamping member 42 is located between the two conveyor belts 31.

[0044] Example 4:

[0045] See Figures 1-7The rotating component 41 includes multiple rectangular blocks 411. A rotating rod 412 is rotatably connected to the transport platform 1 via bearings. The multiple rectangular blocks 411 are fixedly installed on the rotating rod 412. The rectangular blocks 411 are located between two conveyor belts 31. Two third gears 413 are rotatably connected to the transport platform 1 via bearings. A third motor 414 is fixedly connected to the transport platform 1. The output end of the third motor 414 is fixedly connected to one of the third gears 413. The other third gear 413 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 412. A third toothed belt 415 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the two third gears 413. The third toothed belt 415 meshes with the third gear 413.

[0046] The clamping component 42 includes a circular plate 421, and a rectangular block 411 with circular grooves 422 on all four sides. The circular plate 421 is rotatably disposed in the circular grooves 422. An inner groove is opened at the bottom of the circular grooves 422. A fourth motor 423 is fixedly connected in the inner groove. The output end of the fourth motor 423 is fixedly connected to the bottom axis of the circular plate 421.

[0047] A horizontal plate 424 is fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the circular plate 421. A sliding groove 425 is provided on the horizontal plate 424. A clamping plate 426 is slidably provided in the sliding groove 425. A servo cylinder 427 is fixedly connected to one side of the horizontal plate 424. The output end of the servo cylinder 427 extends into the sliding groove 425 and one end is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 426.

[0048] Specifically, the conveyor belt 22 carries the product onto the conveyor belt 31. The conveyor belt 31 carries one end of the clamping plate 426 of the item conveyor belt 22. Through the continuous rotation of the conveyor belt 31, multiple items are evenly placed on one end of the clamping plate 426. At this time, a servo cylinder 427 drives the two clamping plates 426 to move in opposite directions, thereby increasing the distance between the two clamping plates 426. The continuous rotation of the conveyor belt 31 carries the items between the two clamping plates 426. Then, the servo cylinder 427 drives the two clamping plates 426 to move towards each other, thus fixing the items in place. Then the third motor 414 runs, driving one of the third gears 413 to rotate. Through the meshing connection between the third gear 413 and the third toothed belt 415, the other third gear 413 is driven to rotate, thereby driving the rotating rod 412 to rotate, which in turn drives the rectangular block 411 to rotate, which in turn drives the clamping plate 426 to rotate around the rotating rod 412 as the axis, so that the clamping plate 426 holding the item rotates to the other side. At the same time, through the setting of the fourth motor 423, the circular plate 421 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the clamping plate to rotate, so that when the item is rotated to the other side, its bottom surface is still directly below.

[0049] When one of the clamping plates 426 rotates to one side, the counting sensor 51 detects the movement of the clamping plate 426, converts it into an electrical signal, and then the counter processes and outputs the accumulated value, thereby achieving the effect of counting items.

[0050] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
