Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting equipment technology, specifically to a sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of society, people's pace of life is getting faster and faster. In this fast-paced environment, speed is essential in all aspects of life, including clothing, food, housing, and transportation. When dining out, people also hope for faster service and to enjoy their food as quickly as possible. Coupled with the booming popularity of food delivery services, with some popular restaurants selling thousands of orders a day, pre-prepared meals have emerged to meet this demand. Even restaurants in shopping malls are using pre-prepared meals because many malls have fire safety regulations that prohibit the use of open flames. Therefore, the development and widespread adoption of pre-prepared meals are accelerating.

[0003] The production of pre-cooked meals involves processing raw materials, then mixing and cooking different ingredients according to the specific dish, and finally packaging them. The taste is not much different from that of normally cooked dishes, but the mechanical equipment is involved in the most work, thus saving a lot of manual labor. The products are highly standardized and efficient.

[0004] Currently, most material sorting relies on manual sorting. Manual sorting depends on operators manually identifying material types and moving them to designated areas. This not only results in extremely low sorting efficiency but also leads to operator fatigue due to prolonged operation, increasing the sorting error rate. In addition, labor costs account for a high proportion of the total cost. Although some sorting equipment can screen materials, traditional automatic sorting equipment mostly uses a single pushing mechanism, which can only sort materials in one direction. This cannot meet the needs of transporting multiple types of materials to different areas and is difficult to adapt to the needs of large-scale, continuous production. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a sorting machine that can achieve efficient and automatic multi-stage screening of materials through an automatic pushing mechanism in conjunction with at least two push plates with different tilt angles. This solves the problems of low efficiency in traditional manual sorting and the fact that semi-automatic sorting can only sort materials in one direction, which cannot meet the needs of conveying multiple types of materials to different areas and is difficult to adapt to the needs of large-scale and continuous production. This greatly improves the sorting effect and efficiency of materials.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a sorting machine. A roller conveyor is mounted on the frame, and multiple automatic pushing mechanisms are also mounted on the frame, divided into two groups. Each group of automatic pushing mechanisms includes at least one drive component. Each drive component has a push plate, and the push plates on adjacent drive components have opposite inclination angles. A guide plate is mounted on the frame outside each push plate. The drive component can push the push plate upwards to push the object conveyed by the roller conveyor onto the guide plate, where it slides down. This utility model can automatically and efficiently push objects conveyed by the roller conveyor through multiple automatic pushing mechanisms, transporting them to different directions and positions, thereby achieving efficient screening and sorting of materials. This greatly improves the sorting efficiency of materials and solves the problems of cumbersome and inefficient traditional sorting relying on manual operation.

[0007] The drive assembly includes a mounting frame mounted on the machine frame, on which a telescopic push rod is mounted. The output rod end of the telescopic push rod is equipped with a mounting plate, and push plates are respectively mounted at both ends of the upper part of the mounting plate. Each push plate is located between two conveying rollers of the roller conveyor. This utility model can push the push plate upward by the extension and retraction of the output rod of the telescopic push rod to push the object to be sorted to the corresponding guide plate. After sliding down the guide plate, it is collected or enters the next process, making the operation more convenient.

[0008] The telescopic push rod can be an electric push rod or a hydraulic push rod.

[0009] The mounting frame has guide holes at both ends, and a guide sleeve is provided on the upper part of the mounting frame located on the axis of the guide holes. A guide rod is slidably installed in each guide sleeve, and the mounting plate is set on the upper part of the guide rod. This utility model can ensure that the guide rod pushes the mounting plate and push plate above it to move upward by guiding the guide sleeve through the guide rod. At the same time, the wedge structure on the push plate realizes the automatic ejection of materials, making the operation more convenient and efficient.

[0010] The guide plate has a U-shaped structure, and the highest point of the two vertical parts of the guide plate is higher than the height of the frame. This allows for easy material discharge while also effectively blocking it to prevent slippage.

[0011] The distance between the two push plates on the same mounting plate is less than the distance between the two vertical parts of the guide plate located on the same axis, which facilitates the smooth entry of materials into the guide plate.

[0012] The roller conveyor is also equipped with a laser recognition machine on the outside, which facilitates accurate identification of materials. When the material moves to the designated position, the output rod of the telescopic push rod is activated to extend and smoothly push the material out.

[0013] The roller conveyor is a chain-type roller conveyor, which allows the gap between two adjacent conveyor rollers to create clearance space for the push plate, facilitating the smooth ejection of materials.

[0014] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. Replaces manual sorting and greatly improves efficiency: This utility model can achieve fully automatic material sorting through automatic feeding mechanism control, greatly improving sorting efficiency and solving the problem of low efficiency of traditional manual sorting.

[0015] 2. Precise identification and directional feeding, reducing misclassification rate: This utility model can greatly improve the feeding accuracy of the laser identification machine, accurately distinguish different types of materials, and the controller triggers the corresponding feeding component according to the identification result, greatly reducing the misclassification rate and solving the problems of manual misclassification and low identification accuracy of existing equipment.

[0016] 3. The guide structure combined with the U-shaped guide plate ensures stable sorting: This utility model can limit the offset of the mounting plate by cooperating with the guide rod and guide sleeve, which greatly reduces the deviation of the pushing position; the vertical part of the U-shaped guide plate is higher than the frame, which prevents the material from slipping off and solves the problems of unstable pushing and easy material falling in the existing equipment.

[0017] 4. Multiple sets of pushing mechanisms cooperate with reverse tilting push plates to achieve multi-directional sorting: This utility model can use two sets of automatic pushing mechanisms to correspond to the guide plates on both sides of the roller conveyor. The adjacent push plates have opposite tilt angles, which can push different materials to different areas on both sides, solving the problem of single sorting direction of existing equipment.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the described embodiments of this utility model are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown: This embodiment provides a sorting machine. A roller conveyor 200 is mounted on the frame 100. The roller conveyor 200 is a chain-type roller conveyor, manufactured by Hangzhou Hetai Electromechanical, model GS10A-605. This design facilitates the creation of clearance space between adjacent conveyor rollers for the push plate 320, ensuring smooth material ejection. Multiple automatic pushing mechanisms 300 are mounted on the frame 100, divided into two groups. Each automatic feeding mechanism 300 includes at least one drive assembly 310, and each drive assembly 310 is equipped with a push plate 320. The push plates 320 on adjacent drive assemblies 310 have opposite inclination angles. A guide plate 400 is provided on the frame 100 located outside each push plate 320. The drive assembly 310 can push the push plate 320 upward to push the object conveyed by the roller conveyor 200 onto the guide plate 400, and then slide it down through the guide plate 400. Specifically, the frame 100 is made of Q235 steel. Made of welded steel plates, it has sufficient load-bearing strength and is used to fix and install the roller conveyor 200, automatic pushing mechanism 300 and guide plate 400. The roller conveyor 200 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the frame 100. It is a chain-type roller conveyor 200. Its conveying rollers are made of 45 steel. There is a 15-20mm gap between adjacent conveying rollers to provide clearance for the movement of the push plate 320 and realize the continuous conveying of materials. This utility model can automatically and efficiently push the objects conveyed by the roller conveyor 200 through multiple automatic pushing mechanisms 300, so that they are conveyed in different directions and positions, thereby realizing efficient screening and sorting of materials, greatly improving the sorting efficiency of materials, and solving the problems of cumbersome and inefficient traditional sorting that relies on manual operation.

[0022] According to one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1-4As shown, the drive assembly 310 includes a mounting bracket 311 mounted on the frame 100. The mounting bracket 311 is made of Q235 angle steel and is fixed to the frame 100 by bolts. It is used to mount the telescopic push rod 312 and the guide structure. The telescopic push rod 312 is mounted on the mounting bracket 311. The telescopic push rod 312 can be an electric push rod or a hydraulic push rod. The telescopic push rod 312 is fixed in the middle of the mounting bracket 311. It can be an electric push rod, for example, Jiangsu Tailong TL-EP100, or a hydraulic push rod, for example, Shandong Zhongmei DYTZ1000. The output rod end of the telescopic push rod 312 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 313 by bolts to provide power for the movement of the push plate 320. The output rod end of the telescopic push rod 312 is provided with the mounting plate 313, which is made of Q235 angle steel. Made of steel plate, the upper two ends are fixed with push plates 320 by welding. Push plates 320 are respectively set at both ends of the upper part of the mounting plate 313. Each push plate 320 is located between two conveying rollers of the roller conveyor 200. The push plates 320 are made of 304 wear-resistant stainless steel. The push plates 320 on adjacent drive components 310 have opposite inclination angles, for example, they are inclined at 8-45° to both sides of the roller conveyor 200. Each push plate 320 is located between two conveying rollers to ensure that the push plates 320 can move up and down through the gap. This utility model can push the push plates 320 upward by the extension and retraction of the output rod of the telescopic push rod 312 to push the objects to be sorted to the corresponding guide plate. After sliding down the guide plate, they are collected or enter the next process, making the operation more convenient.

[0023] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, guide holes are provided at both ends of the mounting frame 311. A guide sleeve 330 is provided on the upper part of the mounting frame 311 located on the axis of the guide hole. A guide rod 340 is slidably arranged in each guide sleeve 330. The mounting plate 313 is arranged on the upper part of the guide rod 340. The brass guide sleeve 330 is welded in the guide hole. The guide rod 340 is made of 45 steel and heat treated. The upper part of the guide rod 340 is welded and fixed to the mounting plate 313 to limit the movement direction of the mounting plate 313 and prevent it from deviating when pushing the material. This utility model can ensure that the guide rod 340 pushes the mounting plate 313 and the push plate 320 above it to move upward while the guide sleeve 330 is guided by the guide rod 340. At the same time, the wedge structure on the push plate 320 realizes the automatic push operation of the material, which is more convenient and efficient.

[0024] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the guide plate 400 has a U-shaped structure, and the highest point of the two vertical parts of the guide plate 400 is higher than the height of the frame 100. Specifically, the guide plate 400 is made of 304 stainless steel and has a U-shaped structure with the opening facing the push plate 320. It is fixed to the outside of the frame 100 by a bracket. The height of its two vertical parts is 50-80mm higher than that of the frame 100 to prevent the material from tipping over and slipping. The distance between the two push plates 320 on the same mounting plate 313 is 5-10mm smaller than the distance between the two vertical parts of the guide plate 400, ensuring that the material can smoothly enter the guide plate 400. This allows for easy material discharge while also effectively blocking it to prevent slippage.

[0025] The distance between the two push plates 320 on the same mounting plate 313 is less than the distance between the two vertical parts of the guide plate 400 located on the same axis, which facilitates the smooth entry of materials onto the guide plate 400.

[0026] According to another embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a laser identification machine 500 is also installed on the outside of the roller conveyor 200. The laser identification machine 500 is a Shenzhen Dazhu HL-G105-SJ, which is fixed on the outside of the roller conveyor 200. It also includes a controller, which is a Siemens S7-200SMART and is fixed in the electrical distribution box on the side of the frame 100. The laser identification machine 500 is electrically connected to the controller, and the controller is electrically connected to all telescopic push rods 312 to realize the linkage control of material identification and pushing action. This facilitates the accurate identification of materials. When the material moves to the designated position, it is easy to activate the output rod of the telescopic push rod 312 to extend and push the material out smoothly.

[0027] How to use this utility model: First, it should be clarified that the sorting machine involved in this utility model is mainly used for automatic sorting of products in the fields of logistics, food processing, and machinery manufacturing. This utility model takes the automatic sorting in the production and packaging process of pre-prepared vegetables as an example to explain its working principle and usage method in detail. The working principle and usage method are as follows: Equipment installation and commissioning: Fix the frame 100 on a flat ground, install the roller conveyor 200, automatic feeding mechanism 300, guide plate 400 and laser recognition machine 500 in sequence, connect the controller to the circuit of laser recognition machine 500 and telescopic push rod 312, and adjust the fit clearance between guide rod 340 and guide sleeve 330 to ensure that push plate 320 can move smoothly in the vertical direction; Parameter setting: Material recognition parameters can be set via the controller touch screen. For example, information such as material size and color, as well as the corresponding relationship of sorting stations, can be input. For example, type A material triggers the left drive component 310, and type B material triggers the right drive component 310. Material sorting process: Start the equipment: Connect the power supply, turn on the roller conveyor 200, laser recognition machine 500 and controller. The roller conveyor 200 drives the conveyor rollers to rotate and enter the sorting state. Material conveying and identification: The material to be sorted is placed at the input end of the roller conveyor 200, and the material moves towards the output end with the conveyor rollers; when the material moves to the identification area of ​​the laser identification machine 500, the laser identification machine 500 collects the material information and sends it to the controller; Automatic feeding: After the controller compares the material information with the preset parameters and determines the sorting direction, it sends an action signal to the drive component 310 of the corresponding group; after receiving the signal, the telescopic push rod 312 extends out, pushing the mounting plate 313 and the guide rod 340 to move upward along the guide sleeve 330, and the push plate 320 extends out from the gap of the conveyor rollers. Since the tilt angle of the push plate 320 is adapted to the direction of the guide plate 400, the material can be smoothly pushed to the corresponding guide plate 400. Material discharge: After the material enters the U-shaped guide plate 400, it slides down the inclined surface of the guide plate 400 to the designated collection area or the next process. Reset preparation: After the material leaves the push plate 320, the controller sends a reset signal, the telescopic push rod 312 output rod retracts, and the push plate 320 falls back to below the conveyor roller, waiting for the next sorting action; Equipment maintenance: Regularly check the wear of guide rod 340 and guide sleeve 330, and add lubricating oil; clean the dust from the lens of laser recognition machine 500 to ensure recognition accuracy; check whether the wiring of telescopic push rod 312 is loose to ensure circuit stability.

[0028] This invention can achieve efficient and automatic multi-stage screening of materials through an automatic feeding mechanism 300 in conjunction with at least two push plates 320 at different tilt angles. It solves the problems of low efficiency in traditional manual sorting and semi-automatic sorting, which can only sort materials in one direction and cannot meet the needs of conveying multiple types of materials to different areas, making it difficult to adapt to the needs of large-scale and continuous production. It greatly improves the sorting effect and efficiency of materials.

[0029] Furthermore, it should be noted that, in the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] 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 should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
