Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of workpiece sorting equipment technology, and in particular to a laser-cut parts sorting device. Background Technology

[0002] Laser cutting utilizes a high-power-density laser beam to irradiate the material being cut, rapidly heating it to its vaporization temperature and causing it to evaporate and form a hole. As the beam moves across the material, the holes continuously form a narrow kerf, completing the cutting process. The widespread use of this technology has led to an increasing number of workpieces requiring sorting and processing.

[0003] In the prior art, such as Chinese Patent No. CN215466245U, a smart workpiece sorting device for a production line is disclosed, specifically relating to the technical field of workpiece sorting devices. The device includes a base, a collection component movably mounted on the front top of the base, a control component fixedly mounted on one side of the collection component, and a belt conveyor fixedly mounted on the top of the base via a bracket at the rear of the collection component. A support seat is also fixedly mounted on the top of the base at the rear of the belt conveyor. This invention uses a scanner on a long plate to scan products on a belt conveyor. A microcontroller determines the scan and stops the belt conveyor. An electric telescopic rod extends, moving a push plate onto the belt and pushing the product from the front of the belt into the collection box, thus achieving product sorting. The cleaning cloth on the push rod cleans the scanner head as it moves, keeping it clean and improving the accuracy of information collection.

[0004] While the above solution has the advantages mentioned above, its disadvantages are as follows: the design uses a microcontroller to link the barcode scanner and the belt conveyor. The barcode scanner scans the product information, and the microcontroller judges the information. When the product information is different, the microcontroller controls the belt conveyor to stop rotating. The belt conveyor must be paused every time sorting is carried out, which reduces the sorting efficiency. At the same time, there are no protective measures for the workpieces. During the process of workpiece falling or being transferred, they are easy to be damaged by collisions. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of low sorting efficiency and lack of protective measures for workpiece sorting in the existing technology.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a laser-cut parts sorting device: including a base, with multiple columns mounted on the top of the base, wherein the multiple columns are bolted to the base, and the laser-cut parts sorting device further includes: A conveyor is located on top of the plurality of said columns; An identification device, located on top of the conveyor, includes a scanner that can scan the workpieces to be sorted. The flipper, located on top of the conveyor, can sort the workpieces to be sorted under the identification of the identification element.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the transmitting element includes: One belt conveyor is located on top of the plurality of columns; Motor 1 is located on one side of the belt conveyor 1.

[0008] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the motor can drive the belt conveyor and provide a power source for the belt conveyor.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the identification element includes: L-shaped plate one is installed on the top side of the belt conveyor one.

[0010] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the L-shaped plate can provide installation space for the scanner.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the identification element further includes; L-shaped plate two is installed on one side of the top of the belt conveyor one; Motor 2 is installed on the top of L-shaped plate 2; The output shaft of the second motor passes through the second L-shaped plate.

[0012] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the second motor can control the flipping plate to flip, thereby achieving the effect of intelligent control.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the flipping element includes: Two tilting plates are respectively installed on both sides of the belt conveyor. Multiple springs are divided into two groups and installed on one side of the two flip plates respectively; The two flip plates are respectively connected to the two sides of the belt conveyor by hinges.

[0014] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the spring guides the workpiece to achieve a buffering effect, protecting the workpiece from damage.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the flipping component further includes: Two C-shaped brackets are respectively installed on one side of the two sets of springs; Multiple rollers are respectively installed on the inner walls of the two C-shaped frames; Each of the rollers is rotatably connected to the C-frame.

[0016] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the roller can reduce the wear of the workpiece during guidance by utilizing its own rotation.

[0017] In a preferred embodiment, the flipping component further includes: A connecting rod is mounted on top of the two springs; The two ends of the connecting rod are rotatably connected to the two flip plates.

[0018] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that, through the connection of the connecting rod, the two flip plates can be flipped synchronously.

[0019] In a preferred embodiment, two belt conveyors are installed on the top of the plurality of columns, and a motor is installed on one side of each of the two belt conveyors. The two belt conveyors are respectively on the same horizontal plane and on the same straight line as the two tilting plates.

[0020] The technical effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the belt conveyor can transport workpieces that need to be guided.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention comprises three sorting zones. When a workpiece is identified as belonging to the first category, motor two does not start, and the workpiece moves along belt conveyor one. When the scanner detects a workpiece belonging to the second or third category, motor two starts rotating forward or in reverse, causing the flipping plate to flip. Under the connection of the connecting rod, the two flipping plates flip synchronously. With the forward and reverse rotation of motor two, the workpiece is guided to the left or right belt conveyor two, and then conveyed under the drive of motor three. Continuous sorting can be achieved without stopping the belt conveyor, resulting in higher sorting efficiency and further reducing the workload of the staff.

[0022] This invention addresses the issue of workpieces classified as second or third category during transport. The springs within the tilting plate provide shock absorption and cushioning. As the tilting plate guides the workpiece, it collides with the sidewall. The springs, with their elasticity, reduce damage from this collision. Simultaneously, the workpiece moves along the guide direction of the tilting plate, rubbing against its sidewall. The rotation of multiple rollers converts this friction into rolling friction. This design achieves shock absorption through springs, reducing the collision damage rate of the workpiece. Furthermore, the rollers reduce wear and increase the workpiece transport speed.

[0025] 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. Example

[0026] Please see Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a laser-cut parts sorting device that can classify workpieces into three categories. The specific idea is as follows: The device includes a base 1, on the top of which are mounted multiple columns 101, wherein the multiple columns 101 are bolted to the base 1. The laser-cut parts sorting device also includes a conveyor and an identification component.

[0027] The conveyor is located on top of multiple columns 101.

[0028] The identification device is located on top of the conveyor and includes a barcode scanner 105, which can scan the workpieces to be sorted.

[0029] As examples, in this embodiment, the conveying components include: a belt conveyor 102 and a motor 103.

[0030] Among them, the belt conveyor 102, which plays a conveying role, is installed on the top of multiple columns 101 by bolt connection.

[0031] In addition, the motor 103, which serves as the power source, is mounted on one side of the belt conveyor 102 by hexagonal bolts.

[0032] As examples, in this embodiment, the identification components include: L-shaped plate 104, barcode scanner 105, L-shaped plate 2 106, and motor 2 107.

[0033] The L-shaped plate 104 is installed on one side of the top of the belt conveyor 102 by welding.

[0034] The scanner 105, which plays an identification role, is installed at the bottom of the L-shaped plate 104.

[0035] In addition, the L-shaped plate 2 106, which plays an auxiliary role, is installed on the top side of the belt conveyor 102 by welding.

[0036] The motor 2 107 that needs to be added is installed on the top of the L-shaped plate 2 106 by bolt connection.

[0037] It should be noted that the scanner 105 uses a microcontroller to control the operation of the motor 107, which is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0038] Among them, the output shaft of motor 2 107 passes through L-shaped plate 2 106.

[0039] In this embodiment, the workpieces to be inspected are divided into three categories. When the workpiece is identified as the first category by the scanner 105, the second motor 107 does not start, and the workpiece can be conveyed in a straight line by the belt conveyor 102. When the workpiece is detected as the second or third category, the second motor 107 starts. Driven by its forward or reverse rotation, the flip plate 2 will swing to the left or right. Under the connection of the connecting rod 204, the two flip plates 2 can rotate synchronously to guide the workpiece. Example

[0040] Please see Figures 1-5 Based on Example 1, this example provides a laser-cut parts sorting device that can further protect the workpiece. The specific idea is as follows: The laser-cut parts sorting device also includes a flipper, located on top of the conveyor, which can sort the workpieces to be sorted under the identification of the identification device.

[0041] As examples, in this embodiment, the flipping component includes: two flipping plates 2, multiple springs 201, two C-shaped frames 202, multiple rollers 203, and a connecting rod 204.

[0042] The two tilting plates 2 are installed on both sides of the belt conveyor 102.

[0043] Among them, multiple springs 201 that play a shock absorption role are divided into two groups and installed on one side of the two flip plates 2 respectively.

[0044] In addition, the two flip plates 2 are hinged to both sides of the belt conveyor 102.

[0045] Among them, the two C-shaped brackets 202, which play an auxiliary role, are respectively installed on one side of the two sets of springs 201.

[0046] The multiple rollers 203 that need to be added are respectively installed on the inner walls of the two C-shaped frames 202.

[0047] In addition, each roller 203 is rotatably connected to the C-frame 202.

[0048] The connecting rod 204, which serves as a connector, is mounted on the top of the two flip plates 2 via a pivot.

[0049] In addition, two belt conveyors 3 are installed on the top of the multiple columns 101, and motors 301 are installed on one side of each belt conveyor 3.

[0050] Among them, the two belt conveyors 23 are on the same horizontal plane and on the same straight line as the two tilting plates 2, so as to ensure that the two tilting plates 2 can smoothly transfer the workpieces onto the belt conveyors 23 when guiding them.

[0051] In this embodiment, when guiding the workpiece, the spring 201 inside the flip plate 2 will dampen and buffer the transmitted workpiece. The elastic potential energy of the spring 201 will reduce the impulse of the workpiece, thereby better protecting the workpiece and preventing damage caused by collision. At the same time, during the guiding process, multiple rollers 203 can use their own rotatability to convert the sliding friction between the workpiece and the flip plate 2 into rolling friction. On the one hand, this can speed up the conveying efficiency, and on the other hand, it can reduce wear and protect the workpiece.

[0052] Furthermore, it should be noted that in the above embodiments, the laser-cut parts sorting device may also include a battery pack, which provides power to the electronic devices involved in the laser-cut parts sorting device, such as motor 103, scanner 105, motor 2 107 and motor 301. The circuits are connected using existing conventional connection methods, which will not be described in detail here.

[0053] Working principle: Start motor 103 and place the items to be sorted on top of belt conveyor 102. Under the scanning of barcode scanner 105, the workpieces are scanned and identified. This device can classify workpieces into three categories. When the workpiece needs to be classified into the first category, motor 2 107 does not start and the workpiece can be directly conveyed to the first classification area. When the workpiece is detected as the second category, motor 2 107 starts and rotates in the forward direction. The output shaft of motor 2 107 drives one of the flip plates 2 to flip to one side. Since the connecting rod 204 rotates and connects the two flip plates 2 at the same time, the other flip plate 2 flips in the same direction. At this time, the workpiece can be guided to the second classification area. When the workpiece is detected as the third category, motor 2 107 reverses and guides the workpiece to the third classification area on the other side in the same way.

[0054] When the workpiece is transferred to the second and third sorting areas, it will squeeze the side wall of the flip plate 2. At this time, the damage caused by the collision of the side wall to the workpiece can be reduced by the buffer of the spring 201. Meanwhile, the rotation of multiple rollers 203 can convert sliding friction into rolling friction, which speeds up the transfer of the workpiece and reduces wear.

[0055] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. In addition, the circuit connection adopts conventional connection methods in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0056] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
