Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material transportation, and in particular to a material separation mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Material handling spacing refers to the spatial interval standards set between materials, equipment, or areas at each stage of the entire material handling, storage, and transportation process, based on safety, efficiency, and regulatory requirements. Its core is to avoid collisions, compression, material mixing, or safety accidents (such as fires caused by insufficient spacing of flammable materials) during transportation by rationally planning distances, while simultaneously optimizing site utilization and operational smoothness. Spacing design needs to comprehensively consider material characteristics (such as weight, flammability, and fragility), type of transport vehicle (forklifts, conveyor belts, trucks, etc.), site conditions (aisle width, warehouse layout), and industry regulations (such as fire safety regulations and logistics standards). Common application scenarios include the zoning and isolation of material flow in factory workshops, the control of spacing between warehouse stacks and aisles, and the safe separation of transport vehicles and work areas in open-air settings such as mines and ports, ultimately achieving an orderly, safe, and efficient transportation process.

[0003] Currently, the industry typically uses mechanical structures or pneumatic methods for material separation. These separation methods generally suffer from drawbacks such as short lifespan, inconvenient maintenance, poor accuracy, and high noise, which are not conducive to user operation. Therefore, we propose a material separation mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a material separating mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] This utility model provides a material separating mechanism, including a base. Two symmetrically distributed mounting brackets are fixedly connected to the top of the base. A vibrating conveyor belt is fixedly mounted on the top of the two mounting brackets. A first linear module, a second linear module, a third linear module, and a fourth linear module are fixedly mounted on the top of the base. A first forward / reverse threaded rod module is fixedly mounted on the moving end of the first linear module. A second forward / reverse threaded rod module, a third forward / reverse threaded rod module, and a fourth forward / reverse threaded rod module are fixedly mounted on the moving end of the second linear module. Supports are fixedly connected to the two output ends of each of the first, second, third, and fourth forward / reverse threaded rod modules.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the lateral spacing of the support can be flexibly adjusted through the coordinated drive of multiple linear modules and the positive and negative threaded screw modules to adapt to different initial layouts of materials. Relying on the bidirectional characteristics of the positive and negative threads and the precise control of the motor, the displacement of the clamping blocks can be adjusted independently or synchronously to achieve precise material array-style spacing. The rubber pads on the inner side of the clamping blocks increase friction and prevent slippage, while also avoiding rigid contact that could damage the materials. During operation, when the four sets of clamping blocks grab the material and move to the left, the first module fills in and limits the movement to ensure continuity. After the subsequent material is removed, the module resets, and in conjunction with the vibration conveyor pausing, efficient cyclical operation is achieved. Overall, it has the advantages of strong layout adaptability, high spacing accuracy, excellent material protection, and good adaptability to continuous production, effectively improving the efficiency and quality of multi-material spacing.

[0007] Preferably, a mounting block is fixedly connected to one side of the bracket, a housing is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting block, and a clamping block is provided on one side of the housing.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the housing can be fixedly installed on the bracket using the installed blocks.

[0009] Preferably, the same threaded rod is rotatably mounted on the top and bottom of the inner wall of the housing, the threaded rod is externally threaded to a threaded sleeve, a slider is fixedly connected to one side of the threaded sleeve, and the slider is fixedly connected to the clamping block.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded sleeve, slider and clamp can be moved by rotating the threaded rod.

[0011] Preferably, a through groove is provided on one side of the housing, and the slider is slidably installed inside the through groove.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the slider is slidably mounted on the through groove, so that the slider thread sleeve will not rotate when it moves.

[0013] Preferably, a support plate is fixedly installed on one side of the housing, and a motor is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution and using the support plate, the motor can be prevented from spinning idly during operation.

[0015] Preferably, the output end of the motor is fixedly connected to a drive gear, the top of the housing is rotatably mounted with a driven gear, the driven gear is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod, and the drive gear and the driven gear are fixedly connected.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, since the driving gear and the driven gear are meshed together, the rotation of the driving gear can drive the driven gear to rotate.

[0017] Preferably, a rubber pad is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping block.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the rubber pad on the inner side of the clamp increases friction to prevent slippage, while avoiding rigid contact that could damage the material.

[0019] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: By using multiple linear modules to collaboratively drive the positive and negative threaded screw modules, the lateral spacing of the support can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different initial material layouts; relying on the bidirectional characteristics of the positive and negative threads and the precise control of the motor, the displacement of the clamping blocks can be adjusted independently or synchronously to achieve precise material array-style spacing. The rubber pads on the inner side of the clamping blocks increase friction and prevent slippage, while also avoiding rigid contact that could damage the materials. During operation, when the four sets of clamping blocks grab the material and move to the left, the first module compensates and limits the movement to ensure continuity. After subsequent materials are removed, the modules reset, and in conjunction with the vibration conveyor pausing, efficient cyclical operation is achieved. Overall, it possesses advantages such as strong layout adaptability, high spacing accuracy, excellent material protection, and good adaptability to continuous production, effectively improving the efficiency and quality of multi-material spacing.

[0026] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Figure 5 This application will be described in further detail.

[0027] This application discloses a material separation mechanism.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A material separating mechanism includes a base 1. Two symmetrically distributed mounting brackets 24 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A vibrating conveyor belt 23 is fixedly mounted on the top of the two mounting brackets 24, allowing material to be conveyed. A first linear module 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1, driving a first forward / reverse threaded screw module 6. A second linear module 3 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1, driving a second forward / reverse threaded screw module 7. A third linear module 4 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1, driving a third forward / reverse threaded screw module 8. A fourth linear module 5 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1, driving a fourth forward / reverse threaded screw module. 9. The first linear module 2 has a first forward and reverse threaded rod module 6 fixedly installed at its moving end. The first forward and reverse threaded rod module 6 can drive the two corresponding brackets 10 to move in opposite directions. The second linear module 3 has a second forward and reverse threaded rod module 7 fixedly installed at its moving end. The second forward and reverse threaded rod module 7 can drive the two corresponding brackets 10 to move in opposite directions. The third linear module 4 has a third forward and reverse threaded rod module 8 fixedly installed at its moving end. The third forward and reverse threaded rod module 8 can drive the two corresponding brackets 10 to move in opposite directions. The fourth linear module 5 has a fourth forward and reverse threaded rod module 9 fixedly installed at its moving end. The fourth forward and reverse threaded rod module 9 can drive the two corresponding brackets 10 to move in opposite directions. The two output ends of the first forward and reverse threaded rod module 6, the second forward and reverse threaded rod module 7, the third forward and reverse threaded rod module 8 and the fourth forward and reverse threaded rod module 9 are all fixedly connected to brackets 10.

[0029] By using multiple linear modules to collaboratively drive the forward and reverse threaded screw modules, the lateral spacing of the bracket 10 can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to different initial material layouts. Utilizing the bidirectional characteristics of the forward and reverse threads, the displacement of the clamping blocks 21 can be adjusted independently or synchronously to achieve precise material array-style spacing. The rubber pads 22 on the inner side of the clamping blocks 21 increase friction and prevent slippage while avoiding rigid contact that could damage the materials. During operation, when the four sets of clamping blocks 21 grip the material and move to the left, the first module compensates and limits the movement to ensure continuity. After subsequent materials are removed, the modules reset, and in conjunction with the vibration conveyor pausing, efficient cyclical operation is achieved. Overall, it boasts advantages such as strong layout adaptability, high spacing accuracy, excellent material protection, and good adaptability to continuous production, effectively improving the efficiency and quality of multi-material spacing.

[0030] refer to Figure 2 A mounting block 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the bracket 10, and a housing 12 is fixedly connected to one side of the mounting block 11. A clamping block 21 is provided on one side of the housing 12. The housing 12 can be fixedly installed on the bracket 10 by the mounting block 11.

[0031] refer to Figure 5 The inner wall of the housing 12 has the same threaded rod 17 rotatably installed at the top and bottom. The threaded rod 17 is connected to a threaded sleeve 18 by a threaded connection. A slider 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the threaded sleeve 18. The slider 20 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 21. By rotating the threaded rod 17, the threaded sleeve 18, the slider 20 and the clamping block 21 can be moved. A through groove 19 is opened on one side of the housing 12. The slider 20 is slidably installed in the through groove 19. By sliding the slider 20 in the through groove 19, the threaded sleeve 18 will not rotate when the slider 20 moves.

[0032] refer to Figure 4 A support plate 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 12, and a motor 14 is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 13. The support plate 13 ensures that the motor 14 will not run dry during operation.

[0033] refer to Figures 3-4 The output end of the motor 14 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 15, and the top of the housing 12 is rotatably mounted with the driven gear 16. The driven gear 16 is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod 17. The drive gear 15 and the driven gear 16 are fixedly connected. Since the drive gear 15 and the driven gear 16 are meshed, the rotation of the drive gear 15 can drive the driven gear 16 to rotate.

[0034] refer to Figure 4 A rubber pad 22 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping block 21. The rubber pad 22 on the inner side of the clamping block 21 increases the friction to prevent sliding and avoids rigid contact that could damage the material.

[0035] The implementation principle of the material separation mechanism in this application embodiment is as follows: When the material separation mechanism is working, the material is first smoothly transported to the separation station by the vibrating conveyor belt 23 supported by the mounting bracket 24 on the top of the base 1; then, the first linear module 2, the second linear module 3, the third linear module 4 and the fourth linear module 5 on the base 1 synchronously drive the corresponding first positive and negative threaded screw module 6, the second positive and negative threaded screw module 7, the first positive and negative threaded screw module 6 and the first positive and negative threaded screw module 6 to move in a straight line. The lateral spacing of the eight supports 10 is adjusted by the bidirectional thread characteristics of the positive and negative threaded screws to adapt to the initial layout requirements of different materials. After the position of the supports 10 is locked, the output end of the motor 14 in the housing 12 connected to the mounting block 11 on each support 10 drives the threaded rod 17 in the housing 12 to rotate through the meshing of the drive gear 15 and the driven gear 16. The threaded rod 17 drives the rotation of the threaded rod 17. The external threaded sleeve 18 slides along the through groove 19, thereby pushing the clamping block 21 to move towards the material until it contacts and clamps it. By precisely controlling the rotation direction and stroke of the motor 14, the displacement of each clamping block 21 can be adjusted independently or synchronously to achieve precise material separation. The rubber pad 22 on the inner side of the clamping block 21 increases friction to prevent slippage and avoids rigid contact that could damage the material. Finally, the array-style precise separation of multiple materials is completed. During operation, the four sets of clamping blocks 21 grab four materials and move them to the left. At this time, the first linear module 2 will move to the position of the fourth linear module 5 to limit the subsequent materials. Then, the three materials on the second linear module 3, the third linear module 4, and the fourth linear module 5 will be removed. When resetting, the vibration conveying stops and the four sets of clamping blocks 21 reset to the initial state to perform the next round of action, which is convenient for subsequent gripping or to meet the material spacing requirements of the subsequent process.

[0036] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
