Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of conveying device technology, specifically an automatic lane separating device and conveyor line. Background Technology

[0002] In existing assembly line production systems, products are typically transported continuously in a single column. However, with the increasing demand for parallel transport in multiple columns due to capacity increases and subsequent processes such as sorting and packaging, it is often necessary to divide products that were originally arranged in a single column into two or more columns in a timely and accurate manner. Currently, the main method to achieve this is manual sorting, but manual sorting is costly and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic sorting device and conveyor line to solve the problems of high labor costs and low sorting efficiency caused by relying on manual sorting.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An automatic lane separation device includes: support; A distributor is rotatably mounted on the bracket. The distributor has an inlet end and an outlet end. The width of the inlet end is smaller than the width of the outlet end. The distributor has guide surfaces on both sides that connect the inlet end and the outlet end. The limiting assembly includes a first limiting block and a second limiting block spaced apart on the bracket, and a limiting rod disposed on the distributor. The limiting rod is disposed between the first limiting block and the second limiting block, so that the distributor stops when it rotates forward until the limiting rod contacts the first limiting block or rotates backward until the limiting rod contacts the second limiting block.

[0005] In the automatic lane separation device described above, the guiding surface is a concave arc surface.

[0006] As described above, in an automatic lane separating device, the outlet end protrudes outward in an arc shape from both sides to the middle in a direction away from the inlet end.

[0007] As described above, in an automatic lane separating device, the rotating shaft of the lane separator is located at the geometric center of the lane separator.

[0008] As described above, in an automatic lane separating device, the lane separator is symmetrical on both sides, and the axis of the limiting rod intersects perpendicularly with the line of symmetry of the lane separator.

[0009] In the automatic lane separation device described above, the first limiting block and the second limiting block are movably mounted on the bracket.

[0010] As described above, an automatic lane separating device includes a support frame comprising two parallel and opposing uprights and a crossbar connecting the two uprights. The lane separator is rotatably connected to the crossbar, and a first limiting block and a second limiting block are spaced apart on the crossbar.

[0011] The automatic lane separating device described above also includes a counter, which is mounted on the bracket. When the limiting rod rotates with the lane separating device to be opposite the counter, the counter counts once.

[0012] This utility model also provides an automatic sorting conveyor line, including a conveying device, on which an automatic sorting device as described above is provided, wherein the inlet end of the sorting device is close to the feed end of the conveying device, and the outlet end of the sorting device is close to the discharge end of the conveying device.

[0013] As described above, in an automatic track-separating conveyor line, the conveying device is equipped with a plurality of the aforementioned automatic track-separating devices, which are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the conveying device.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: This utility model provides an automatic product sorting device and conveyor line. When the preceding product moves from the inlet to the outlet along the guide surface on one side of the sorter, it drives the sorter to rotate forward until the limiting rod contacts the first limiting block and the sorter stops rotating.

[0022] 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 a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, and not all of them. 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.

[0023] Please see the appendix Figure 1 To be continued Figure 5 This embodiment provides an automatic lane-separating conveyor line, including a conveying device 5, on which an automatic lane-separating device is provided.

[0024] The automatic lane separating device includes a support 1, a lane separating unit 2, and a limiting assembly 3. The lane separating unit 2 is rotatably mounted on the support 1. The lane separating unit 2 has an inlet end 21 and an outlet end 22. The width of the inlet end 21 is smaller than the width of the outlet end 22. The two sides of the lane separating unit 2 are respectively provided with guiding surfaces 23 connecting the inlet end 21 and the outlet end 22. The limiting assembly 3 includes a first limiting block 31 and a second limiting block 32 spaced apart on the support 1, and a limiting rod 33 disposed on the lane separating unit 2. The limiting rod 33 is disposed between the first limiting block 31 and the second limiting block 32, so that the lane separating unit 2 stops when it rotates forward until the limiting rod 33 contacts the first limiting block 31 or rotates backward until the limiting rod 33 contacts the second limiting block 32.

[0025] The inlet end 21 of the distributor 2 is close to the feed end of the conveying device 5, and the outlet end 22 of the distributor 2 is close to the outlet end of the conveying device 5.

[0026] During the sorting process, products 6 arranged in a row are sequentially conveyed from the feed end to the discharge end by the conveying device 5 at intervals. When products 6 pass through the automatic sorting device in sequence, the previous product moves from the inlet end 21 to the outlet end 22 along the guide surface 23 on one side of the sorter 2, causing the sorter 2 to rotate forward until the limit rod 33 contacts the first limit block 31 and the sorter 2 stops rotating. Then, the previous product is discharged from the outlet end 22. At this time, the guide surface 23 on the other side of the sorter 2 is opposite to the next product. The next product moves from the inlet end 21 to the outlet end 22 along the guide surface 23 on the other side of the sorter 2, causing the sorter 2 to rotate in the opposite direction until the limit rod 33 contacts the second limit block 32 and the sorter 2 stops rotating. Then, the next product is discharged from the outlet end 22, thus realizing automatic product sorting. No manual operation is required during the sorting process, the sorting efficiency is high, and the sorter 2 does not require an additional power device for drive, but is driven by the moving products, resulting in low implementation cost.

[0027] In some embodiments, the conveying device 5 includes a conveyor belt and a conveyor belt drive motor.

[0028] Furthermore, the guiding surface 23 is a concave arc surface. The concave arc surface has a continuously changing tangential direction, resulting in a smoother and gentler guiding transition, and can reduce instantaneous lateral impact force, preventing scratches on the product's side. In addition, the concave arc surface is particularly well-suited to conforming to the outer wall of bottled and canned products, allowing for smooth channel separation.

[0029] Furthermore, the outlet end 22 protrudes outward in an arc shape from both sides to the center, moving away from the inlet end 21. This structure enables a smooth and gradual transition of the outlet end 22 of the distributor 2, preventing scratches on the exported product when the distributor 2 rotates again after the product has been exported.

[0030] Furthermore, the axis of rotation of the distributor 2 is located at the geometric center of the distributor 2. With the axis passing through the geometric center of the distributor 2, the mass distribution of the distributor 2 is symmetrical or nearly symmetrical with respect to the axis of rotation. This significantly reduces the periodic inertial force caused by eccentricity, avoids additional dynamic loads on the axis of rotation and supports, and extends its service life. Moreover, the distributor 2 rotates more smoothly with lower vibration and noise.

[0031] Furthermore, the channel divider 2 is symmetrical on both sides, and the axis of the limiting rod 33 intersects perpendicularly with the line of symmetry of the channel divider 2. The limiting rod 33 is located on the plane of symmetry of the channel divider 2, which on the one hand makes the force on the channel divider 2 more balanced, and on the other hand facilitates cooperation with the first limiting block 31 or the second limiting block 32 to achieve limiting.

[0032] Furthermore, the first limiting block 31 and the second limiting block 32 are movably disposed on the bracket 1. By adjusting the distance between the first limiting block 31 and the second limiting block 32, it can be adapted to the product lanes of different sizes, or the product lanes can be positioned in two columns with appropriate spacing. The first limiting block 31 and the second limiting block 32 can be connected to the bracket 1 in different ways. For example, the first limiting block 31 and the second limiting block 32 can be connected by bolts. When the bolts are loosened, the first limiting block 31 and the second limiting block 32 can move. When the bolts are tightened, the first limiting block 31 and the second limiting block 32 are fixed. Alternatively, the bracket is provided with several locking holes at different positions. The first limiting block 31 and the second limiting block 32 are provided with elastic locking blocks that cooperate with the locking holes. When the elastic locking blocks are disconnected from the locking holes, the first limiting block 31 and the second limiting block 32 can engage with locking holes at different positions. When the elastic locking block engages with the selected locking hole, the first limiting block 31 and the second limiting block 32 are fixed.

[0033] Furthermore, the support 1 includes two parallel and opposing uprights 11 and a crossbar 12 connecting the two uprights 11. The distributor 2 is rotatably connected to the crossbar 12, and the first limiting block 31 and the second limiting block 32 are spaced apart on the crossbar 12. When it is necessary to separate the products, simply place the two uprights 11 on both sides of the conveyor belt, and adjust the positions of the distributor 2 and the limiting components 3 according to the separation requirements. The structure is simple and the installation is convenient.

[0034] Furthermore, the automatic channel separating device also includes a counter 4, which is mounted on the support 1. When the limiting rod 33 rotates with the channel separating device 2 to be opposite the counter 4, the counter 4 counts once. The counter 4 is a photoelectric counter. During operation, the light emitted by the light source continuously illuminates the photoelectric element. When the light path is blocked by an object, the working state of the photoelectric element changes. After processing by an amplifier, the counter is triggered to record the number of times the object is blocked. When the channel separating device 2 rotates once, it indicates that a product has passed through the channel separating device. As the limiting rod 33 moves with the channel separating device 2, it not only cooperates with the first limiting block 31 or the second limiting block 32 to achieve a limiting effect, but also cooperates with the counter 4 to achieve automatic product counting. The overall structure is simple and ingeniously designed, eliminating the need for manual counting, reducing labor costs, and providing efficient and accurate counting.

[0035] Furthermore, the conveying device 5 is equipped with a plurality of the aforementioned automatic channel separating devices, which are arranged at intervals along the conveying direction of the conveying device 5. For example... Figure 5 As shown, when a product passes through the first automatic sorting device, it is split from one column into two columns. When the product passes through the second automatic sorting device, one of the two columns is further split into two columns, thus dividing the two columns into three columns. When the product passes through the third automatic sorting device, one of the three columns is further split into two columns, thus dividing the three columns into four columns, and so on. By setting up multiple automatic sorting devices, products can be automatically sorted into multiple columns to meet usage requirements. Moreover, the sorting speed is consistent with the product conveying speed, making it convenient and fast.

[0036] It should be understood that the terms "first," "second," etc., are used in this utility model to describe various information, but this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from each other. For example, without departing from the scope of this utility model, "first" information can also be referred to as "second" information, and similarly, "second" information can also be referred to as "first" information. In addition, the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0037] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
