Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sorting equipment technology, specifically a resin button thickness sorting device. Background Technology
[0002] Resin buttons are widely used in the clothing and bag industries. During the production process, factors such as mold wear and uneven material shrinkage can lead to variations in button thickness. For high-end clothing, the uniformity of button thickness is a crucial factor affecting product quality and grade. Therefore, sorting the produced buttons by thickness is an essential step.
[0003] Currently, button thickness sorting is mostly done manually or using single-channel conveyor belt-based inspection equipment. Manual sorting is inefficient, costly, and prone to errors and omissions due to visual fatigue and subjective judgment, making it difficult to guarantee sorting accuracy and consistency. While single-channel equipment improves automation, its processing capacity is limited and cannot meet the needs of large-scale production lines, becoming a bottleneck for production efficiency.
[0004] Therefore, how to provide a resin button thickness sorting device that can achieve high efficiency, high precision and high reliability is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a resin button thickness sorting device, which is compact in structure, efficient in sorting, and capable of processing multiple batches of buttons simultaneously.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A resin button thickness sorting device includes a base for supporting a sorting execution disk;
[0008] The side wall of the sorting execution disk has multiple sorting channels, the height of which gradually increases in a clockwise direction, and the middle part of the sorting execution disk has a conveying channel for receiving buttons output by the feeder;
[0009] Among them, multiple screening tubes are fixedly installed on the side wall of the sorting execution disk and correspond to the sorting channels respectively;
[0010] The rejection mechanism, installed on the screening tube, is used to reject defective buttons.
[0011] The sorting actuator is slidably installed in the sorting channel and can slide horizontally along the sorting channel;
[0012] The linkage mechanism, mounted on the base, is used to drive the sorting actuator to perform sorting actions.
[0013] A distributor is used to distribute buttons in the conveyor channel into sorting channels of appropriate thickness.
[0014] This utility model's resin button thickness sorting device uses a feeder to transport buttons to a sorting execution plate. A distributor pushes the buttons to slide along the conveying channel, with different thicknesses gradually entering different sorting channels from small to large. The sorting actuator randomly pushes the buttons into different sorting channels, and then discharges them through a screening tube. This achieves a parallel processing mode of "conveying and sorting simultaneously," with multiple sorting channels working at the same time. The sorting efficiency is several times that of traditional single-channel equipment, greatly improving the production cycle.
[0015] Preferably, the sidewall of the base has fixing holes;
[0016] A support column is fixedly installed on the top of the base, and the top of the support column is fixedly connected to the sorting execution disk.
[0017] Preferably, a limiting bolt is threadedly connected to the top of the sorting execution disk near the conveying channel. Adjusting the depth of the connection between the limiting bolt and the sorting execution disk can prevent the button from entering the sorting channel.
[0018] Preferably, the rejection mechanism includes a visual inspection camera fixedly mounted on the top of the screening tube and an electromagnetic clutch, wherein the electromagnetic clutch is configured to output and eject the defective button when the visual inspection camera detects a defective button.
[0019] Preferably, the bottom of the screening tube has a discharge channel, and the inner side wall of the discharge channel is hinged with a discharge plate. The position where the discharge plate is hinged to the discharge channel is elastically engaged by a torsion shaft.
[0020] Preferably, the linkage mechanism includes:
[0021] Drive motor one is fixedly installed in the middle of the base to drive the spindle;
[0022] A turntable is fixedly mounted on the top of the main shaft, and multiple push rods corresponding to the sorting actuators are rotatably connected to its top.
[0023] The cage is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sorting actuator, and its side wall has multiple slides that are adapted to the sorting actuator;
[0024] The slider is slidably installed inside the slide rail, and its two ends are rotatably connected to the push rod and the sorting actuator, respectively.
[0025] Preferably, the push rod has an arc-shaped structure.
[0026] Preferably, the dispenser includes:
[0027] The gear ring is slidably connected in a circular groove on the top of the sorting execution disk;
[0028] Drive motor two is fixedly installed on the side wall of the base;
[0029] The drive gear is fixedly installed at the output end of the second drive motor and meshes with the gear ring.
[0030] The swing arm is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the gear ring and adapted to the conveying channel.
[0031] This invention provides a resin button thickness sorting device. It has the following advantages:
[0032] 1. The feeder transports buttons to the sorting execution plate. The distributor pushes the buttons to slide along the conveying channel. Buttons of different thicknesses gradually enter different sorting channels from small to large. The sorting actuator randomly pushes the buttons into different sorting channels and then discharges them through the screening tube. This realizes the parallel processing mode of "conveying and sorting at the same time". Multiple sorting channels work at the same time, and the sorting efficiency is several times that of traditional single-channel equipment, which greatly improves the production cycle.
[0033] 2. The core sorting principle is mechanical screening based on physical dimensions. As long as the bottom height of each sorting channel is precisely controlled, micron-level thickness sorting can be achieved. The subsequent visual rejection mechanism serves as a secondary guarantee, ensuring the accuracy of the final sorting result and is not affected by subjective human factors.
[0034] 3. The functions of feeding, distributing, multi-channel sorting and rejection are highly integrated on a rotating execution plate. The device has a small footprint, reasonable layout, and is easy to install and debug on existing production lines. Attached Figure Description

[0046] 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.
[0047] Example:
[0048] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a resin button thickness sorting device, including a base 1 for supporting a sorting execution disk 2;
[0049] The side wall of the sorting execution disk 2 has multiple sorting channels 21, the height of which gradually increases in a clockwise direction. The middle part of the sorting execution disk 2 has a conveying channel for receiving the buttons output by the feeder.
[0050] Among them, multiple screening tubes 22 are fixedly installed on the side wall of the sorting execution disk 2 and are respectively corresponding to the sorting channel 21;
[0051] The rejection mechanism 3 is installed on the screening tube 22 to reject defective buttons;
[0052] The sorting actuator 4 is slidably installed in the sorting channel 21 and can slide horizontally along the sorting channel 21.
[0053] The linkage mechanism 5 is mounted on the base 1 and is used to drive the sorting actuator 4 to perform sorting actions.
[0054] Distributor 6 is used to distribute buttons in the conveying channel into sorting channels 21 of corresponding thickness.
[0055] Because the resin button thickness sorting device of this utility model has the above structure, the feeder transports the buttons to the sorting execution plate 2, the distributor 6 pushes the buttons to slide along the conveying channel, and different thicknesses gradually enter different sorting channels from small to large. The buttons are randomly pushed into different sorting channels by the sorting actuator, and then discharged through the screening tube 22. This realizes the parallel processing mode of "conveying and sorting at the same time". Multiple sorting channels work at the same time, and the sorting efficiency is several times that of traditional single-channel equipment, which greatly improves the production cycle.
[0056] Specifically, a circular conveying channel is provided in the central area of the sorting execution disk 2 to receive buttons from the feeder. Around the periphery of the conveying channel, six sorting channels 21 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the disk; the number can be adjusted as needed. The bottom heights of these sorting channels 21, H1, H2, H3, ... H6, increase in a stepped manner along the clockwise rotation direction of the sorting execution disk 2. For example, channel H1 is the shallowest, and channel H6 is the deepest.
[0057] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the sidewall of the base 1 has fixing holes, thereby facilitating the fixing of the base 1;
[0058] A support column 11 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, and the top of the support column 11 is fixedly connected to the sorting execution disk 2.
[0059] A limiting bolt 12 is threadedly connected to the top of the sorting execution disk 2 near the conveying channel. Adjusting the depth of the connection between the limiting bolt 12 and the sorting execution disk 2 can restrict the button from entering the sorting channel 21.
[0060] Because the resin button thickness sorting device of this utility model has the above structure, by adjusting the screwing depth of the limiting bolt 12, an adjustable "gate" can be formed to control the buttons entering the sorting area from the conveying channel, thereby achieving the purpose of fixed thickness screening.
[0061] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the rejection mechanism 3 includes a visual inspection camera 31 fixedly mounted on top of the screening tube 22 and an electromagnetic clutch 32, the electromagnetic clutch 32 being configured to output and eject the defective button when the visual inspection camera 31 detects a defective button.
[0062] The bottom of the screening tube 22 has a discharge channel 23, and the inner side wall of the discharge channel 23 is hinged with a discharge plate 24. The position where the discharge plate 24 is hinged to the discharge channel 23 is elastically matched by a torsion shaft.
[0063] Because the resin button thickness sorting device of this utility model has the above structure, the buttons cannot fall automatically. Only when the electromagnetic clutch 32 is triggered can the buttons be pushed downward by the electromagnetic clutch 32, thereby driving the unloading plate 24 to open. After the unloading plate 24 is opened, unqualified buttons can be removed. When the buttons flow through the detection area of the screening tube 22, the top vision inspection camera 31 takes pictures of them and transmits the images to the image processing system. The system analyzes the images to determine whether the buttons have other defects besides thickness, such as cracks, flash, color difference, etc. Once an unqualified product is detected, the system immediately triggers the electromagnetic clutch 32 of the channel to generate an instantaneous thrust, removing the unqualified product from the unloading plate 24.
[0064] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the linkage mechanism 5 includes:
[0065] Drive motor 51 is fixedly installed in the middle of the base 1 to drive the spindle;
[0066] A turntable 52 is fixedly installed at the top of the main shaft, and a number of push rods 53 corresponding to the sorting actuator 4 are rotatably connected to its top.
[0067] The retainer 54 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sorting actuator 2, and its side wall has multiple slides that are adapted to the sorting actuator 4;
[0068] The slider 55 is slidably installed inside the slide rail, and its two ends are rotatably connected to the push rod 53 and the sorting actuator 4, respectively. The push rod 53 has an arc-shaped structure.
[0069] Since the resin button thickness sorting device of this utility model has the above structure, the drive motor 51 can drive the turntable 52 to rotate, thereby pushing the slider 55 to move through the push rod 53, thereby driving the sorting actuator 4 to move, and performing the sorting operation through the sorting actuator.
[0070] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the dispenser 6 includes:
[0071] The gear ring 61 is slidably connected in the circular groove at the top of the sorting execution disk 2;
[0072] Drive motor 262 is fixedly installed on the side wall of base 1;
[0073] The drive gear 63 is fixedly installed at the output end of the drive motor 62 and meshes with the gear ring 61.
[0074] The swing arm 64 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the gear ring 61 and is adapted to the conveying channel.
[0075] Because the resin button thickness sorting device of this utility model has the above structure, the external vibrating plate or other feeder continuously transports the uniformly shaped resin buttons to the designated position above the sorting execution plate 2. The drive motor 52 of the distributor 5 starts, and drives the gear ring 51 and the swing arm 54 to rotate at low speed through the gear 53. The swing arm 54 evenly pushes the accumulated buttons into the sorting channel 21. The thinner buttons can easily slide into the shallower sorting channels (such as H1, H2); while the thicker buttons cannot enter the shallower channels and will continue to slide outward until they find a sorting channel with a deeper bottom that can accommodate their thickness, such as (H5, H6). In this way, the buttons are automatically and quickly distributed into different sorting channels 21 according to their thickness.
