Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to linen washing equipment, and more particularly to a linen weighing and sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] In the linen washing industry, linens need to be sorted before washing machines can process them. Typically, soiled linens are transported to the laundry plant mixed together (sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, towels, bath towels, floor mats). Before washing, these mixed linens need to be sorted and then sent to the washing machines. Workers sort the mixed linens onto conveyor belts or linen carts, then weigh them to reach the designed washing weight of the machine before sending them to the washing machine for washing. Currently, some automated linen sorting technologies have emerged. For example, Chinese utility model patent (application number 202211462513.5) discloses a new modular intelligent linen sorting system that uses artificial intelligence (AI) technology for linen identification and sorting. However, this system uses robotic arms to grab the linens and an integrated horizontal sorting conveyor to push the linens into moving tools. However, automated linen sorting devices require large investments and have high application costs, and many laundry plants still use manual sorting methods. In the manual linen sorting process, weighing and transferring linens are relatively time-consuming and inefficient tasks. Utility Model Content

Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the operation of this utility model, showing the lurking lifting robot 40 moving the linen conveyor box 30 out. Detailed Implementation
[0015] Example 1: like Figures 1 to 5 A linen weighing and sorting device includes a sorting port 10, a weighing box 20 and a conveyor box 30.
[0016] The sorting port 10 includes a fan-shaped structure, which has a sorting inlet 11 and a sorting outlet 12. The sorting inlet 11 is a lateral opening on the fan-shaped structure and is angled to facilitate the feeding of linens. The sorting outlet 12 is a downward-facing opening.
[0017] The weighing box 20 has a conical body at its lower side, with discharge valves 22 that open to both sides. The weighing box 20 is equipped with hydraulic cylinders 23 that drive the discharge valves 22 from the outside. There are four hydraulic cylinders 23, each driving one of the two discharge valves 22 from each side. When both discharge valves are open, the lower end of the weighing box is fully open to ensure smooth discharge of linens.
[0018] A weighing sensor 21 is provided at the upper end of the weighing box. The weighing sensor 21 is an S-type weighing sensor. In this embodiment, four weighing sensors 21 are arranged near the four corners of the weighing box. The weighing box 20 is located below the sorting port 10 and is connected to the sorting port 12 by screws.
[0019] A conveyor box 30 is located below the weighing box 20. The conveyor box receives the linens unloaded from the weighing box and conveys them to the washing equipment. The conveyor box 30 is equipped with conveyor box feet 31. The conveyor box 30 is moved by a submersible lifting robot 40, which is an automated walking device with its top 41 adjustable for height. The bottom surface of the conveyor box 30 is higher than the height of the submersible lifting robot 40, allowing the robot to enter beneath the conveyor box, lift it from the bottom, and move it.
[0020] This embodiment features six sorting ports 10, each with a weighing box 20 located below it. The six sorting ports can be used to sort linens such as sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, towels, bath towels, and floor mats.
[0021] The sorting port 10 and weighing box 20 are mounted on the frame 50. The frame 50 is equipped with an operating platform 51. Linen is conveyed into the sorting device by a linen conveyor belt 52. The linen conveyor belt 52 transports the linen to the operating platform 51, passing in front of the sorting ports 10, allowing the linen to pass through each sorting port 10. Sorting workers 60 sort each piece of linen, placing the linen 61 into the corresponding sorting inlet 11, classifying the various types of linen, and collecting them into the weighing box 20. Figure 1 As shown.
[0022] The sorting port 10 is equipped with a display screen 13. The display screen 13 displays the weighing data of each weighing bin 20, i.e., the weight of the linens in each weighing bin 20. During linen sorting, the weighing sensor 21 measures the weight of the linens in each weighing bin 20 in real time. When the linens in a weighing bin reach the set weight, the display screen 13 provides a prompt, and the sorting worker can operate the linen discharge through the display screen 13. The display screen 13 also displays information about the type of linens, such as "bedcloth," "pillowcase," and "towel." The display screen 13 also displays customer information.
[0023] When the linen is discharged, the two discharge valves 22 of the weighing box open, and the linen 61 falls into the conveyor box 30. Figure 7 As shown. After the linen 61 falls into the conveyor box 30, the two discharge valves 22 of the weighing box close, and the lurking lifting robot 40 enters below the conveyor box 30, as shown. Figure 8 As shown. Then, the stealthy lifting robot 40 enters beneath the conveyor box 30, lifts the conveyor box 30 from the bottom, and moves the conveyor box 30 containing linens out from under the weighing box 40. Another stealthy lifting robot can be used to place an empty conveyor box under the weighing box, ready for the next linen reception, as shown. Figure 9 As shown.
[0024] An automated weighing and discharging method can also be used. When the linens in a weighing bin reach the set weight, the automatic control system opens the two discharge gates 22 of the weighing bin, and the linens fall into the conveyor box 30. The display screen 13 provides a prompt or warning when the discharge gates 22 are open, preventing the sorting worker 60 from adding linens during this period. After the discharge gates 22 are closed, the display screen 13 notifies the sorting worker 60 to continue the sorting operation.
[0025] This embodiment uses weighing sensors to measure the weight of linens in each weighing box in real time and automatically prompts or operates the linen discharge, eliminating the need for manual weighing. The discharge operation is simple, easy to perform, and can be automated, significantly improving the efficiency of linen sorting. The discharge gates 22 on both sides of the lower conical box of the weighing box 20 prevent obstruction of linen discharge. The weighing box 20 ensures smooth discharge of linens. The concealed lifting robot transfers the conveyor boxes, further improving the efficiency of linen sorting.
