Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of sorting machine technology, specifically to a sorting partition, a hopper device, and a sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A separator can be used for the separation and sorting of materials, capable of separating crushed ore and gangue. A separator can include a conveying device, an identification device, and a sorting device. Some separators can perform different separation operations on different materials, or simultaneously sort multiple different materials, allowing the materials to enter their respective hoppers, thus achieving simultaneous sorting of multiple materials. For separators capable of sorting multiple materials, because the sorting device applies different forces to the materials of various types, their trajectories as they fall to their respective hoppers are similar. After the sorting operation is performed, the materials may mix in the air during their fall, making it impossible to separate the different types of materials, resulting in poor material separation accuracy. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the problems existing in the related art, an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure provides a sorting partition in a first aspect, applied to a hopper device of a sorting machine, the hopper device being used to receive different types of materials separated along different trajectories, and the different trajectories including at least two adjacent force-applied trajectories formed by the force applied to the materials by the sorting device of the sorting machine; wherein, the sorting partition includes: a flat plate portion, including a multi-layer structure, generally in the shape of a planar plate, for being inclinedly disposed between the two adjacent force-applied trajectories; and two side plates, respectively disposed on both sides of the flat plate portion along the material trajectory, for being connected to the hopper device.

[0004] In some embodiments, the flat plate portion includes: a first wear-resistant layer formed on the upper surface of the flat plate portion; and a second wear-resistant layer formed on the lower surface of the flat plate portion.

[0005] In some embodiments, the first wear-resistant layer is connected to the side plates on both sides on both sides; the second wear-resistant layer is connected to the side plates on both sides on both sides on both sides, and is spaced apart from the first wear-resistant layer.

[0006] In some embodiments, the flat plate portion further includes a buffer layer located between the first wear-resistant layer and the second wear-resistant layer.

[0007] In some embodiments, the buffer layer is made of rubber and is formed as a porous or non-porous structure.

[0008] In some embodiments, the sorting partition further includes: two first convex shafts, respectively disposed on the side plates on both sides, protruding in a direction away from the flat plate portion, for connection with the hopper device; and two second convex shafts, respectively disposed on the side plates on both sides, protruding in a direction away from the flat plate portion, and located downstream of the trajectory relative to the first convex shafts, for connection with the hopper device.

[0009] Secondly, this disclosure also provides a hopper device, comprising: a frame; and a sorting partition as described in the first aspect, which is position-adjustable and disposed on the frame.

[0010] In some embodiments, the frame includes: a plurality of longitudinal beams arranged vertically; two first adjusting crossbeams respectively disposed on the longitudinal beams on both sides of the frame and at the same height, wherein the height of the two first adjusting crossbeams can be adjusted along the vertical direction of the longitudinal beams, for supporting the sorting partition; and two second adjusting crossbeams disposed downstream of the first adjusting crossbeams in the material flight direction, respectively disposed on the longitudinal beams on both sides of the frame and at the same height below the height of the first adjusting crossbeams, wherein the height of the two second adjusting crossbeams can be adjusted along the vertical direction of the longitudinal beams, for supporting the sorting partition.

[0011] In some embodiments, the frame includes: two first bearing assemblies, each position-adjustable on a first adjusting crossbeam on both sides for supporting a first convex shaft on both sides of the sorting partition; and two second bearing assemblies, each position-adjustable on a second adjusting crossbeam on both sides for supporting a second convex shaft on both sides of the sorting partition.

[0012] Thirdly, this disclosure also provides a sorting machine, comprising: a conveying device for conveying materials; a detection device for detecting at least three categories of the materials; a sorting device disposed downstream of the conveying device for sorting the materials according to their categories, so that materials of different categories fly out along different trajectories; and a hopper device as described in the second aspect, disposed downstream of the sorting device for receiving the materials that fly out along different trajectories.

[0013] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0014] The sorting baffle provided in this disclosure can effectively prevent materials from mixing in the air after the sorting operation, thus improving the accuracy of material sorting. The inclined sorting baffle also effectively prevents materials from bouncing back after impacting the baffle, improving the safety of material sorting and preventing materials from entering the wrong hopper after bouncing, further enhancing the accuracy of material sorting.

[0023] The following describes specific embodiments of this disclosure. It should be noted that, in order to maintain brevity, this specification cannot provide a detailed description of all features of the actual embodiments. It should be understood that, in the actual implementation of any embodiment, just as in any engineering or design project, various specific decisions are often made to achieve the developer's specific goals and to meet system-related or business-related constraints, and this can change from one embodiment to another. Furthermore, it is understood that although the efforts made in this development process may be complex and lengthy, for those skilled in the art related to the content of this disclosure, changes in design, manufacturing, or production based on the technical content disclosed herein are merely conventional technical means and should not be construed as insufficient content of this disclosure.

The terms “first,” “second,” and similar terms used in this utility model patent application description and claims do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. The terms “an” or “a” and similar terms do not indicate a quantity limitation, but rather indicate the presence of at least one. The terms “comprising” or “including” and similar terms mean that the element or object preceding “comprising” or “including” encompasses the element or object listed following “comprising” or “including” and its equivalents, and do not exclude other elements or objects.

[0025] A separator can include a feeding device, a conveying device, a detection device, and a sorting device. The feeding device receives materials fed into the separator from the outside, allowing the material to enter the conveying device. The conveying device then transports the material to the detection device for testing, determining the material's category. Based on the category determined by the detection device, the material is then sorted, separating materials belonging to different categories. The separator can perform different sorting operations on multiple materials. For example, different forces can be applied to different types of materials during sorting, causing them to fall along different trajectories under varying forces, thus achieving simultaneous sorting of multiple materials. In ore sorting, a separator can separate clean coal, middlings, and gangue. A double-upper-spray pulverization device can perform the sorting operation, achieving a three-stage ore separation. In current technologies, due to the significant size differences among clean coal, middlings, and gangue (ranging from 50mm to 400mm), the flight trajectories of middlings and gangue after being struck by the double-upper-jet air jet exhibit discreteness. This leads to cross-mixing of middlings and gangue after flight, severely impacting the accuracy of material sorting results. While some current technologies use elliptical arc plates as separation baffles, these baffles are not ideal in practical applications, exhibiting issues such as middlings rebounding into the clean coal bin and cracking due to vibration and impact.

[0026] Based on the above technical issues, such as Figure 1As shown, an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure provides a sorting partition 100 applied to a hopper device of a sorting machine. The hopper device is used to receive different types of materials separated along different trajectories, and the different trajectories include at least two adjacent force-applied trajectories formed by the force applied to the materials by the sorting device of the sorting machine. The force-applied trajectory can be the trajectory of the material falling after being subjected to force by the sorting device. When the force applied to the material by the sorting device is similar in magnitude, the falling trajectories of the materials are adjacent, forming two adjacent force-applied trajectories. Specifically, for one-to-three ore sorting, the sorting machine can perform sorting operations on clean coal and middlings, that is, apply force to the corresponding materials to make them fall along different trajectories. Among them, the falling trajectories of clean coal and middlings are adjacent under the action of external force. The sorting partition 100 may include: a flat plate 110 and two side plates 120.

[0027] The plate section 110, comprising a multi-layered structure, is generally planar and is inclinedly positioned between two adjacent force application trajectories. The plate section 110 may include multiple layers of plates. Since the upper and lower surfaces of the plate section 110 may collide with the material, the upper and lower surfaces are planar to prevent uncontrollable rebound of the material after impact. The plate section 110 can be inclined between two adjacent force application trajectories to ensure that the material slides down in a predetermined direction, preventing material from falling into the correct direction. The plate section 110 can be inclined downwards, with the inclination angle adjusted according to the material particle size and the force application trajectory, so that the material deviates relative to the force application trajectory and falls smoothly along the surface of the plate section 110 towards the corresponding hopper after impact, reducing erroneous material drop caused by rebound.

[0028] Two side plates 120 are respectively disposed on both sides of the flat plate 110 along the material path for connection to the hopper device. The side plates 120 can be perpendicular to the flat plate 110 and are generally flat. The two side plates 120 can be disposed on both sides of the flat plate 110, and are located on both sides of the flat plate 110 along the material path to avoid interference with the material path and thus affecting material sorting. The two side plates 120 can be respectively used to connect to the hopper to ensure that the sorting partition 100 can be installed in the hopper with high installation stability.

[0029] According to the sorting baffle 100 provided in this embodiment, different types of materials maintain the separation of adjacent force application trajectories during the falling process, effectively avoiding the problem of material mixing between materials falling along adjacent force application trajectories. Since both the upper and lower surfaces of the plate section 110 are flat, materials will not exhibit uncontrollable multi-directional rebound when impacting the plate section 110, thus significantly reducing the risk of materials rebounding into the wrong hopper and improving the safety and stability of material sorting. In this embodiment, the plate section 110, by setting an inclination angle based on the material particle size and the force application trajectory, allows materials impacting the sorting baffle 100 to slide smoothly down the surface of the plate section 110 to the corresponding hopper, further reducing material scattering and cross-mixing caused by impacting the sorting baffle 100, effectively improving the isolation between the force application trajectories of various materials, and effectively improving the accuracy of material sorting. By providing two flat side plates 120 perpendicular to the flat plate 110 on both sides of the flat plate section 110, and connecting the side plates 120 to the hopper device, it is possible to ensure that the sorting partition 100 has high overall stability after installation, avoiding partition displacement due to vibration of the sorting machine or material impact, and achieving a stable and accurate material separation effect. In addition, the two side plates 120 can effectively prevent material scattering and further limit the trajectory of material falling.

[0030] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the flat plate portion 110 may include: a first wear-resistant layer 111 and a second wear-resistant layer 112.

[0031] The first wear-resistant layer 111 is formed on the upper surface of the flat plate portion 110. The upper surface of the flat plate portion 110 may have the first wear-resistant layer 111. The first wear-resistant layer 111 may be a coating with high wear resistance, or it may be one side surface of a wear-resistant plate made of wear-resistant material. Furthermore, the first wear-resistant layer 111 may have high strength and impact resistance, so that it can maintain its structural integrity when impacted by materials, and is not prone to deformation, dents, or cracking; and can maintain stable wear resistance under long-term working conditions. Through this first wear-resistant layer 111, the impact load caused by materials on the sorting partition 100 can be resisted, preventing damage to the main body of the flat plate portion 110 due to repeated stress, while reducing material rebound due to impact, so that the material can smoothly slide down along the inclined direction of the flat plate portion 110 after impact, improving the accuracy of material sorting and the service life of the flat plate portion 110.

[0032] The second wear-resistant layer 112 is formed on the lower surface of the flat plate portion 110. The lower surface of the flat plate portion 110 may have the second wear-resistant layer 112. The second wear-resistant layer 112 can be a coating with high wear resistance, or it can be one side surface of a wear-resistant plate made of wear-resistant material. The second wear-resistant layer 112 can have high strength and impact resistance, so that it can maintain its structural integrity when impacted by materials, and is not prone to deformation, dents, or cracking; and can maintain stable wear resistance under long-term working conditions. Through this second wear-resistant layer 112, the impact load caused by materials on the sorting partition 100 can be resisted, preventing damage to the main body of the flat plate portion 110 due to repeated stress, while reducing material rebound due to impact, allowing the material to fall after impact, improving the accuracy of material sorting and the service life of the flat plate portion 110.

[0033] According to the sorting partition 100 provided in this embodiment, by providing a first wear-resistant layer 111 and a second wear-resistant layer 112 on the upper and lower sides of the flat plate portion 110 respectively, the impact resistance and wear resistance of the sorting partition 100 can be significantly enhanced, reducing the risk of structural fatigue and cracking. Moreover, it can effectively suppress rebound after material impact and maintain the consistency of material sliding direction, thereby greatly improving the separation accuracy of materials and the long-term reliability of the sorting process.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first wear-resistant layer 111 can be connected to the side plates 120 on both sides respectively; the second wear-resistant layer 112 can be connected to the side plates 120 on both sides respectively, and is spaced apart from the first wear-resistant layer 111. The first wear-resistant layer 111 and the second wear-resistant layer 112 can be two independent plates, so that the first wear-resistant layer 111 and the second wear-resistant layer 112 can be connected to the side plates 120 on both sides respectively. The first wear-resistant layer 111 and the second wear-resistant layer 112 can be made of the same material, or different materials can be selected for the first wear-resistant layer 111 and the second wear-resistant layer 112 according to the particle size, weight, material and other characteristics of the material.

[0035] According to the sorting partition 100 provided in this embodiment, the two sides of the first wear-resistant layer 111 are respectively connected to two side plates 120, and the two sides of the second wear-resistant layer 112 are respectively connected to the side plates 120 and spaced apart from the first wear-resistant layer 111. The gap between the first wear-resistant layer 111 and the second wear-resistant layer 112 allows the first wear-resistant layer 111 or the second wear-resistant layer 112 to have space to deform when subjected to impact, which can buffer the impact caused by the material, reduce the rebound of the material, and thus prevent the material from entering the wrong hopper. In this embodiment, the wear-resistant structures on the upper and lower sides of the flat plate 110 form independent force-bearing systems. As a result, each wear-resistant plate can bear the impact load and friction load at its location, avoiding a single plate from bearing the combined stress of the upper and lower surfaces at the same time, thereby significantly reducing the overall deformation and fatigue damage probability of the wear-resistant plate and improving the long-term structural stability of the sorting partition 100.

[0036] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the flat plate portion 110 may further include a buffer layer 113 located between the first wear-resistant layer 111 and the second wear-resistant layer 112. The buffer layer 113 may be disposed between the first wear-resistant layers 111. The buffer layer 113 may be made of a material with higher toughness than the first wear-resistant layer 111 and the second wear-resistant layer 112, enabling the material to absorb and disperse the impact force through its own elastic deformation when impacted, reducing the risk of the impact load directly acting on the main structure of the flat plate portion 110, thereby preventing the wear-resistant layers from breaking or fatigue damage. The buffer layer 113 between the wear-resistant layers may also be an air layer. A closed or semi-closed cavity may be formed between the first wear-resistant layer 111 and the second wear-resistant layer 112 through an isolation portion, forming an air buffer layer 113 within the cavity. The air layer can undergo compressible deformation when subjected to instantaneous impact, absorbing impact energy through the compressibility of the gas, thereby further mitigating the impact and improving the overall component's impact resistance and buffering performance.

[0037] According to the sorting partition 100 provided in this embodiment, by providing a buffer layer 113 between the first wear-resistant layer 111 and the second wear-resistant layer 112, the absorption capacity of the flat plate portion 110 for material impact can be significantly improved. The buffer layer 113 can be made of a tough material or an air layer, and its elastic deformation can absorb and disperse the impact load when the material impacts, thereby reducing the risk of the impact force directly acting on the main structure of the flat plate portion 110, avoiding breakage, denting or fatigue damage to the wear-resistant layer or the main structure, and improving the durability of the sorting partition 100. The buffer layer 113 forms a buffer during the material impact process, allowing the material to slide smoothly down the inclined direction of the flat plate portion 110 after impact, further reducing the probability of the material rebounding into the wrong hopper, thereby improving the sorting accuracy and separation stability of the material.

[0038] In some embodiments, the buffer layer 113 can be made of rubber and formed into a porous or non-porous structure. A porous rubber buffer layer 113 can effectively absorb impact energy from materials through its internal air cavities and elastic mesh structure, further reducing the amplitude of impact force transmission and thus improving the protective performance of the flat plate portion 110. A non-porous rubber buffer layer 113, on the other hand, has higher overall strength and durability, maintaining a stable buffering effect even under long-term material impact. For the non-porous rubber buffer layer 113, its overall material is uniform and dense, capable of uniformly dispersing impact energy during high-speed or continuous material impacts. Specifically, the buffer layer 113 can be made of butyl rubber. Butyl rubber has good elasticity and can effectively absorb and disperse impact energy during high-speed or continuous material impacts, preventing cracking or permanent deformation of the wear-resistant layer and the overall structure, thereby improving the durability and service life of the flat plate portion 110.

[0039] According to the sorting baffle 100 provided in this embodiment, by providing a rubber buffer layer 113 between the first wear-resistant layer 111 and the second wear-resistant layer 112, the buffering capacity of the flat plate 110 against material impact can be significantly improved. Simultaneously, by controlling the material's slip trajectory through the buffering effect, the rebound height of the material after impacting the surface of the sorting baffle 100 is effectively reduced. Under the limiting effect of the sorting baffle 100, high-precision separation of materials can be achieved in high-speed sorting scenarios, improving the overall sorting efficiency and reliability of the sorting machine.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, the sorting partition 100 may further include: two first convex shafts 121 and two second convex shafts 122.

[0041] Two first convex shafts 121 are respectively disposed on the side plates 120 on both sides, protruding away from the flat plate portion 110, for connection with the hopper device; the first convex shafts 121 can be disposed on the side of the side plate 120 away from the flat plate portion 110, so that they protrude from the surface of the side plate 120. The first convex shafts 121 can be disposed on the upstream side of the side plate 120 along the material trajectory extension direction, that is, on the side close to the material conveying device.

[0042] Two second convex shafts 122 are respectively disposed on the side plates 120 on both sides, protruding away from the flat plate portion 110, and located downstream of the trajectory relative to the first convex shaft 121, for connection to the hopper device. The second convex shafts 122 can be disposed on the side of the side plate 120 away from the flat plate portion 110, protruding from the surface of the side plate 120. The second convex shafts 122 can be disposed on the downstream side of the side plate 120 along the material trajectory extension direction, i.e., the side away from the material conveying device and close to the hopper device. The second convex shafts 122 can be connected to the hopper device, and the second convex shafts 122 can be fixedly connected to the hopper device to ensure the stability of the sorting partition 100. The second convex shafts 122 can also be hinged to the hopper device, allowing the sorting partition 100 to rotate around the second convex shafts 122, facilitating angle adjustment of the sorting partition 100. The first convex shaft 121 and the second convex shaft 122 can be integrally formed and welded to the side plate, or they can be installed by fitting into holes in the side plate.

[0043] According to the sorting partition 100 provided in this embodiment, the first convex shaft 121 and the second convex shaft 122 protrude away from the flat plate portion 110, forming a solid connection interface with the hopper structure. This effectively maintains the positioning accuracy of the sorting partition 100 when subjected to high-speed material impact or separator vibration, preventing the partition from shifting or loosening. When the second convex shaft 122 is hinged to the hopper device, the sorting partition 100 can rotate or adjust its angle using the second convex shaft 122 as a fulcrum, making the partition tilt angle adjustment more convenient and flexible. This embodiment allows for adjustment of the tilt angle of the sorting partition 100 according to variations in material particle size, weight, or sorting intensity, further reducing the risk of material mixing and improving sorting efficiency and adaptability. This adjustment function is particularly suitable for work sites with large variations in ore particle size or fluctuating sorting environments, giving the sorting partition 100 greater engineering practicality. This embodiment enhances the installation stability and impact resistance of the sorting partition 100 by setting a first convex shaft 121 and a second convex shaft 122 at different positions on the side plate 120. It also makes the installation, maintenance and angle adjustment of the partition more flexible and efficient, thereby comprehensively improving the stability and safety of the sorting partition 100 and further improving the accuracy of material sorting.

[0044] Based on the same inventive concept, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, this disclosure also provides a hopper device, which may include: a frame 210 and a sorting partition 100 as in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0045] The frame 210 can be used to support the sorting partition 100. The frame 210 can form a rigid frame through the support structure to bear the weight of the sorting partition 100 and the load generated by the impact of materials.

[0046] The sorting baffle 100 is adjustable in position and orientation and is mounted on the frame 210. The sorting baffle 100 can be connected to the support device of the frame 210, and its height, tilt angle, and horizontal position can be adjusted relative to the frame 210. This allows the position and orientation of the sorting baffle 100 to be adjusted according to the particle size, falling speed, and falling trajectory of different materials, ensuring that materials accurately enter their respective bins along a preset trajectory, thereby improving sorting accuracy and efficiency and reducing the risk of material mixing.

[0047] According to the silo device provided in this embodiment, by installing the sorting baffle 100 in an adjustable manner on the frame 210, the working position of the sorting baffle 100 can be flexibly adjusted according to different working conditions. The sorting baffle 100 can be continuously or gradedly adjusted in height, inclination angle, and horizontal position, so that the material-facing angle, effective contact area, and material sliding path of the sorting baffle 100 can be optimized and matched according to the material particle size distribution, bulk density, falling speed, and impact direction. The sorting baffle can be precisely positioned according to material characteristics and production needs, so that the material can be guided to the target silo along the optimal trajectory during the falling process, effectively improving the accuracy of material sorting; compared with a fixed baffle structure, this embodiment can reduce the mixing phenomenon caused by trajectory deviation and improve the overall sorting accuracy. The silo device provided in this embodiment can adapt to different working conditions and multiple types of materials, expanding the application range of the silo device. The frame 210 provides a stable support frame that can withstand material impact loads and maintain the stability of the sorting partition 100, thereby improving the stability of the receiving device by reducing partition offset or vibration.

[0048] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the frame 210 may include: multiple longitudinal beams 211, two first adjusting crossbeams 212 and two second adjusting crossbeams 213.

[0049] Multiple longitudinal beams 211 are arranged vertically. The frame 210 can be used to support the sorting partition 100 and ensure its positional stability during the sorting process. The longitudinal beams 211 can be made of steel or high-strength alloy materials to bear the weight of the sorting partition 100 and the impact load of the material, and form an overall stable frame through crossbeams or reinforcing plates.

[0050] Two first adjusting beams 212 are respectively set on the longitudinal beams 211 on both sides of the frame 210, and are set at the same height. The height of the two first adjusting beams 212 can be adjusted along the vertical direction of the longitudinal beams 211 to support the sorting partition 100. The two ends of the first adjusting beams 212 can be connected to the two longitudinal beams 211 on the same side of the frame 210. The two first adjusting beams 212 can be respectively set on both sides of the frame 210, and are set at the same height. The first adjusting beams 212 and the longitudinal beams can be connected through mechanisms such as slides, adjusting holes, locking bolts or guide rails to achieve an adjustable connection in the vertical direction, so as to ensure that the connection between the sorting partition 100 and the frame 210 is firm and reliable during the sorting process, while also providing convenience for quick adjustment and disassembly. By adjusting the height of the first adjusting beams 212, the tilt angle of the sorting partition 100 can be adjusted to adapt to different materials and sorting scenarios.

[0051] Two second adjusting crossbeams 213 are positioned downstream of the first adjusting crossbeam 212 in the material flight direction. They are respectively located on the longitudinal beams 211 on both sides of the frame 210 and are set at the same height as the first adjusting crossbeam 212. The height of the two second adjusting crossbeams 213 can be adjusted vertically along the longitudinal beams 211 to support the sorting partition 100. The two ends of the second adjusting crossbeams 213 can be connected to the two longitudinal beams 211 on the same side of the frame 210. The two second adjusting crossbeams 213 can be respectively located on both sides of the frame 210 and set at the same height. The second adjusting crossbeams 213 and the longitudinal beams 211 can be connected via mechanisms such as chutes, adjusting holes, locking bolts, or guide rails to achieve an adjustable connection in the vertical direction. This ensures a firm and reliable connection between the sorting partition 100 and the frame 210 during the sorting process, while also providing convenience for quick adjustment and disassembly. The tilt angle of the sorting partition 100 can also be adjusted by adjusting the height of the second adjusting beam 213 to adapt to different materials and sorting scenarios. The height of the sorting partition 100 can be adjusted by simultaneously adjusting the positions of the two first adjusting beams 212 and the two second adjusting beams 213 along the vertical direction of the longitudinal beam 211.

[0052] According to the silo device provided in this embodiment, multiple vertically arranged longitudinal beams 211 form a stable support frame for the frame 210, which can effectively withstand the self-weight of the sorting partition 100 and the impact load of the material, ensuring the positional stability and vibration resistance of the sorting partition 100 during the sorting process. The longitudinal beams 211, together with the first adjusting crossbeam 212 and the second adjusting crossbeam 213, form a rigid frame, giving the frame 210 excellent structural strength and torsional resistance, thereby improving the reliability of the installation of the sorting partition 100 and the stability of the sorting process. The height of the first adjusting crossbeam 212 and the second adjusting crossbeam 213 can be adjusted separately, thereby precisely controlling the tilt angle and position of the sorting partition 100 to adapt to different material particle sizes, weights, falling speeds, and sorting trajectory requirements. By synchronously adjusting the height positions of the two first adjusting crossbeams 212 and the two second adjusting crossbeams 213 along the longitudinal beam 211, the overall height of the sorting partition 100 can also be adjusted, giving the equipment high adaptability and flexibility in different sorting scenarios. The structural design takes into account the stability, adjustability and ease of operation of the equipment, which not only improves the installation accuracy and overall stability of the sorting partition 100, but also significantly enhances the reliability of the silo device in the process of sorting multiple materials.

[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the frame 210 may include two first bearing assemblies 214 and two second bearing assemblies 215.

[0054] Two first bearing assemblies 214 are adjustablely positioned on the first adjusting crossbeams 212 on both sides of the sorting partition 100 to support the first convex shafts 121 on both sides. The first bearing assemblies 214 can be connected to the first adjusting crossbeams 212 via structures such as sliding grooves, adjusting hole arrays, guide rails, or locking bolts, allowing their positions to be adjusted along the length of the first adjusting crossbeams 212. The first bearing assemblies 214 can be rolling bearings, spherical plain bearings, or bearing units with self-aligning structures to ensure the smooth rotation and support stability of the first convex shafts 121 during assembly and angle adjustment of the sorting partition 100. The adjustable position of the first bearing assemblies 214 allows for flexible adjustment of the lateral position and angle of the sorting partition 100, thereby improving the installation accuracy and operational reliability of the sorting partition 100.

[0055] Two second bearing assemblies 215 are adjustablely positioned on the second adjusting beams 213 on both sides of the sorting partition 100 to support the second convex shafts 122 on both sides. The second bearing assemblies 215 can be connected to the second adjusting beams 213 via structures such as sliding grooves, adjusting hole arrays, guide rails, or locking bolts, allowing their positions to be adjusted along the length of the second adjusting beams 213. The second bearing assemblies 215 can employ rolling bearings, spherical plain bearings, or bearing units with self-aligning structures to ensure the smooth rotation and support stability of the second convex shafts 122 during assembly and angle adjustment of the sorting partition 100. The adjustable position of the second bearing assemblies 215 allows for flexible adjustment of the lateral position and angle of the sorting partition 100, thereby improving the installation accuracy and operational reliability of the sorting partition 100. By synchronously adjusting the positions of the two first bearing assemblies 214 and the two second bearing assemblies 215 along their respective corresponding first adjusting beams 212 and second adjusting beams 213 in the horizontal direction, the horizontal position of the sorting partition 100 can be adjusted.

[0056] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the first adjusting beam 212 and the second adjusting beam 213 have elongated holes for connecting to the first bearing assembly 214 and the second bearing assembly 215. A locking bolt passes through the adjusting hole in the first bearing assembly 214 and the elongated hole in the first adjusting beam 212, fixing the first bearing assembly 214 to the first adjusting beam 212. The position of the first bearing assembly 214 on the first adjusting beam 212 can be adjusted by sliding the locking bolt in the elongated hole. Similarly, a locking bolt passes through the adjusting hole in the second bearing assembly 215 and the elongated hole in the second adjusting beam 213, fixing the second bearing assembly 215 to the second adjusting beam 213. The position of the second bearing assembly 215 on the second adjusting beam 213 can be adjusted by sliding the locking bolt in the elongated hole.

[0057] According to the hopper device provided in this embodiment, by setting two first bearing assemblies 214 and two second bearing assemblies 215 on the frame 210 and making their positions adjustable, it is possible to ensure the stable support of the sorting partition 100 while achieving flexible adjustment of the sorting partition 100 in the lateral and angular directions.

[0058] Based on the same inventive concept, such as Figure 7As shown, this disclosure also provides a sorting machine, including: a conveying device 310, a detection device 320, a sorting device 330, and a hopper device as described in any of the foregoing embodiments. A first bearing assembly 214 supports a first convex shaft 121 of the sorting partition 100, and a second bearing assembly 215 supports a second convex shaft 122 of the sorting partition 100. The bearing assemblies can be adjusted in position along the length direction of their respective adjusting beams, thereby precisely controlling the lateral position, tilt angle, and overall posture of the sorting partition 100. During the material falling process, the sorting partition 100 can be accurately positioned between adjacent force application trajectories, allowing different types of materials to slide along predetermined trajectories into the corresponding hoppers. At the same time, the wear-resistant layer and buffer layer 113 structure effectively absorb material impact, reduce rebound, and improve the accuracy and stability of material sorting.

[0059] The conveying device 310 is used to convey materials. The conveying device 310 can be a belt conveyor 310, a chain conveyor 310, etc. The conveying device 310 can receive materials fed by external feeding equipment, convey the materials through the conveying device 310, and subsequently detect, identify and sort them.

[0060] The detection device 320 is used to detect at least three categories of materials. The detection device 320 may include image acquisition equipment, such as a camera or X-ray scanning equipment. The detection device 320 may be positioned above the conveyor 310, and by acquiring images of the surface of the conveyor 310, it can determine the category of the material based on the images. The detection device 320 is capable of detecting materials and determining their categories; it can detect at least three categories of materials to achieve multi-category sorting of materials.

[0061] The sorting device 330, located downstream of the conveying device 310, is used to sort materials according to their category, so that different types of materials fly out along different trajectories. The sorting device 330 can be a blowing device or a pusher device, which changes the path of the material falling from the end of the conveying device 310 by blowing gas or striking the material, thereby causing different types of materials to fall along different trajectories and achieving the sorting of different types of materials.

[0062] The hopper device, located downstream of the sorting device 330, is used to receive materials ejected along different trajectories. The frame 210 consists of a basic support frame formed by multiple vertically arranged longitudinal beams 211, and is equipped with two first adjusting crossbeams 212 and two second adjusting crossbeams 213 to form two adjustable support positions on both sides of the frame 210. Two first bearing assemblies 214 are adjustablely mounted on the first adjusting crossbeams 212 on both sides to support and position the first convex shafts 121 on both sides of the sorting partition 100; two second bearing assemblies 215 are adjustablely mounted on the second adjusting crossbeams 213 on both sides to support the second convex shafts 122 on both sides of the sorting partition 100. This allows the sorting partition 100 to be continuously adjustable in height, inclination angle, and horizontal position through the coordinated adjustment of the longitudinal beams 211 and the adjusting crossbeams, ensuring that the flat plate portion 110 of the sorting partition 100 is accurately positioned between adjacent force application trajectories. The hopper device allows for rapid adjustment of the specific position of the sorting baffle 100 based on changes in material particle size, density, and falling speed. This ensures that different types of materials enter their corresponding hoppers along a preset trajectory after passing through the sorting device 330. Simultaneously, the wear-resistant structure and buffer layer 113 of the sorting baffle 100 effectively resist material impact and reduce rebound, making the sorting process more stable and reliable. Figure 7 As shown, the sorting device can be a jetting device. After being sorted by the sorting device 330, the material can be divided into three categories. The first category of material is not jetted and falls directly. The second category of material is jetted with a smaller force to distinguish its falling trajectory from that of the first category. The third category of material is jetted with a larger force to distinguish its falling trajectory from that of the second category. The falling trajectories of the second and third categories are adjacent, and due to differences in particle size and weight, the falling trajectories of the second and third categories are easily deviated, leading to material mixing and poor sorting accuracy. Therefore, the sorting baffle 100 of the hopper device can be positioned between the falling trajectories of the second and third categories of material. When the second category of material is excessively jetted, it will be blown to the lower side of the sorting baffle 100, where it will be blocked and guided by the lower side of the baffle 100 to fall into the receiving area corresponding to the second category. If the blowing force on the third category of material is insufficient, the material will fall onto the upper side of the sorting baffle 100, causing it to fall along the surface of the sorting baffle 100 to the corresponding receiving area for the third category. The sorting baffle 100 has a certain degree of toughness, which can effectively prevent the material from colliding with the surface of the sorting baffle 100 and bouncing back significantly. Through the sorting baffle 100, the material can fall more smoothly to its corresponding receiving area.

[0063] Therefore, the sorting machine provided in this embodiment can not only significantly improve the sorting accuracy of multiple types of materials and reduce the risk of mixing, but also improve the adaptability of the equipment to different working conditions, enhance the stability and long service life of the sorting process, and improve the sorting efficiency and overall system reliability.
