As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the present embodiment proposes a sorting apparatus. The sorting apparatus includes a sorting cart 100 and a rail system.

The guide rail system comprises a plurality of guide rail units 200 connected with each other, each guide rail unit 200 comprises a frame body 210, a guide rail 220, a limiting assembly 230 and an adjusting assembly 240, the guide rail 220 is arranged on the frame body 210, the sorting trolley 100 is arranged on the guide rail 220 in a manner of being capable of moving along the second direction, the limiting assembly 230 comprises a limiting member, a driving surface is arranged on the limiting member, the driving surface is obliquely arranged relative to the first direction, the driving surface is configured to drive the pushing assembly 130 to slide along the guide member 120 in the process that the sorting trolley 100 moves along the second direction, and the adjusting assembly 240 is arranged at the end part of the driving surface and used for triggering the pushing assembly 130 to enable the pushing assembly 130 to be in contact with the driving surface.

The cart board 110 has a first direction and a second direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction in the same horizontal plane. The first direction is a length direction or a width direction of the cart plate 110, and when the first direction is the length direction of the cart plate 110, correspondingly, the second direction is the width direction of the cart plate 110; when the first direction is the width direction of the trolley plate 110, correspondingly, the second direction is the length direction of the trolley plate 110. Reference in this application to "a first direction" and "a second direction" is to be understood.

The sorting equipment of the embodiment of the application has the following working process: when the sorting trolley 100 reaches a designated sorting position, the adjusting assembly 240 acts to trigger the pushing assembly 130 to enable the pushing assembly 130 to slide for a certain distance along the guide 120 and to contact with a driving surface of the limiting part, the driving surface is arranged obliquely relative to the first direction, at this time, the sorting trolley 100 drives the pushing assembly 130 to move along the second direction, the driving surface has a limiting effect on the movement of the pushing assembly 130 along the second direction, and meanwhile, the pushing assembly 130 has a tendency of moving towards the first direction, so that the pushing assembly 130 slides along the guide 120 in the process that the sorting trolley 100 moves along the second direction, the pushing assembly 130 moves from one side to the other side of the trolley plate 110, and in the process, the pushing assembly 130 pushes the to-be-sorted piece to move on the trolley plate 110 and pushes the to-be-sorted piece out of the trolley plate 110, and sorting is completed. According to the process, based on the sorting equipment of the embodiment of the application, the adjusting component 240 only needs to provide small-segment displacement for the pushing component 130, the pushing component 130 does not need to be participated in the whole process, the sorting can be completed along the movement of the guide piece 120, and the belt of the sorting trolley 100 driven by the electric roller is adopted to rotate compared with the belt of the sorting trolley 100 driven by the electric roller in the correlation technique, so that the sorting equipment for sorting and sending out the workpieces to be sorted is adopted, the sorting equipment of the embodiment of the application reduces the energy consumption of the action of the single sorting trolley 100, and further reduces the energy consumption of the whole sorting process.

As shown in fig. 1, in some embodiments of the present application, the cart plate 110 is provided with a flange structure 111 at both ends thereof, which extends in the first direction, so as to prevent the pieces to be sorted from falling off the cart plate 110.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments of the present application, a cart pulley 150 may be disposed on the cart plate 110, and the cart pulley 150 rolls along the guide rail 220 to move the sorting cart 100. Rolling friction is less than sliding friction, facilitating movement of the sorting cart 100.

As shown in fig. 3-5, in some embodiments of the present application, the adjusting assembly 240 includes a toggle element 241 and a first driving device 242, a first end of the toggle element 241 is rotatably connected to the frame 210, the first driving device 242 is configured to drive the toggle element 241 to rotate around the first end, and a second end of the toggle element 241 is configured to toggle the pushing assembly 130 of the sorting cart 100, so that the pushing assembly 130 contacts with the driving surface of the limiting element. When the sorting trolley 100 does not reach the sorting position, the pushing assembly 130 does not need to act, and the pushing assembly 130 passes through the outer side of the poking member 241; when the sorting trolley 100 reaches a designated sorting position, the first driving device 242 drives the toggle member 241 to rotate around the first end thereof, the second end of the toggle member 241 contacts the pushing assembly 130 during the rotation and toggles the pushing assembly 130 to change the motion state thereof, so as to provide an initial speed for the pushing assembly 130 to slide along the guide member 120, so that the pushing assembly 130 slides along the guide member 120 for a certain distance and contacts with the driving surface of the limiting member, thereby preparing for the subsequent movement of the pushing assembly 130 along the driving surface. As can be seen from the above process, the first driving device 242 drives the stirring member 241 to rotate, and the stirring member 241 stirs the pushing assembly 130 to obtain the initial speed of moving along the second direction in the rotating process, so that the driving method is simple, the time for the first driving device 242 to provide power is short, and the energy consumption is low.

Further, the number and positions of the adjustment assemblies 240 can be set according to actual conditions. For example, when the sorting cart 100 is movable along the guide track 220 in only one direction, the adjustment assembly 240 may be one and disposed at one end of the drive surface to provide control of the pusher assembly 130 during single-file movement of the cart. When the sorting cart 100 is bi-directionally movable along the guide track 220, the adjustment assemblies 240 may be two and disposed at opposite ends of the drive surface, wherein one of the adjustment assemblies 240 may be used to control the pusher assembly 130 when the sorting cart 100 is moving in one direction and the other adjustment assembly 240 may be used to control the pusher assembly 130 when the sorting cart 100 is moving in the opposite direction.

As shown in fig. 5, in some embodiments of the present application, the first driving device 242 includes a first electromagnet 2424, a first swing link 2425, a first rotating shaft 2421, a bearing seat 2422 and a deep groove ball bearing 2423, a through hole is formed in the frame body 210, the bearing seat 2422 is installed in the through hole, the deep groove ball bearing 2423 is installed in the bearing seat 2422, the first rotating shaft 2421 passes through the deep groove ball bearing 2423, an upper end of the first rotating shaft 2421 is connected to a first end of the dial 241, a lower end of the first rotating shaft 2421 is connected to the first swing link 2425, the first swing link 2425 is further connected to the first electromagnet 2424, the first electromagnet 2424 drives the first rotating shaft 2421 to rotate through the first swing link 2425, and the first rotating shaft 2421 drives the dial 241 to rotate. The deep groove ball bearing 2423 has the advantages of small friction and high rotating speed, and can enable the first rotating shaft 2421 to rotate more flexibly, and further enable the stirring piece 241 to rotate more flexibly.

The above-mentioned setting method can obtain a first driving surface composed of the driving surfaces of the two first stoppers 231 and the distributing surface 2331 or a second driving surface composed of the driving surfaces of the two second stoppers 232 and the distributing surface 2331, where the first driving surface and the second driving surface are arranged alternately, and can realize the reciprocating movement of the pushing assembly 130 along the guide 120 in the first direction, specifically, when the pushing assembly 130 is in contact with the first driving surface, the unidirectional movement in one direction can be realized under the action of the first driving surface, and when the pushing assembly 130 is in contact with the second driving surface, the unidirectional movement in the opposite direction can be realized under the action of the second driving surface. The distribution piece 233 is rotated to complete the switching between the first driving surface and the second driving surface, so that the sorting flexibility of the sorting equipment is improved; meanwhile, sorting positions can be arranged on two sides of the sorting trolley 100, and the sorting efficiency is improved.

The operation principle of the position limiting assembly 230 is as follows: first, a limiting member to be selected is determined according to the moving direction of the pushing assembly 130, and then the second driving device 234 drives the distributing member 233 to rotate until the distributing surface 2331 is flush with the driving surface of the selected limiting member, so as to form a complete first driving surface or a complete second driving surface, which is ready for the subsequent movement of the pushing assembly 130. When the first position-limiting element 231 is selected, the pushing assembly 130 moves along the first driving surface and passes through the space between the second position-limiting elements 232; when the second position-limiting member 232 is selected, the pushing assembly 130 moves along the second driving surface and passes through the space between the first position-limiting members 231.

The second swing link 2343 converts the linear motion of the second electromagnet 2342 into the rotation of the second rotating shaft 2341.

As shown in fig. 6 and 7, in some embodiments of the present application, the limiting assembly 230 further includes a distributing member limiting member 235, the distributing member limiting member 235 is disposed between the distributing member 233 and the frame body 210, and a limiting structure for limiting a rotation angle of the distributing member 233 is disposed on the distributing member limiting member 235. The distributing member 233 is driven by the second driving device to rotate, the accuracy of the rotation angle may not be high, and a distributing member limiting member 235 having a limiting structure is provided to stop the rotation of the distributing member 233 when the distributing member 233 reaches a set position, so that the distributing surface 2331 may be flush with the driving surface of the limiting member, thereby avoiding the occurrence of uneven connection of the driving surface due to insufficient accuracy of the rotation angle, and facilitating the movement of the pushing member 130 along the driving surface. Specifically, the spacing structure may be a spacing post 2351 that stops moving when the dispensing member 233 rotates into contact with the spacing post 2351.

As shown in fig. 4, in some embodiments of the present application, the adjusting assembly 240 further includes a toggle limiting member 243, and the toggle limiting member 243 is mounted on the frame body 210, located at an outer side of the toggle 241, and spaced apart from the toggle 241. The toggle member limiting member 243 limits the rotation angle of the toggle member 241, so that the contact area between the toggle member 241 and the pushing assembly 130 is too small due to the fact that the rotation angle of the toggle member 241 is too large, and the situation that the toggle member 241 cannot toggle the pushing assembly 130 can be avoided. When the pushing assembly 130 does not need to be operated, the pushing assembly 130 passes through the gap between the toggle 241 and the toggle limiter 243.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, in some embodiments of the present application, the pusher assembly 130 of the sorting cart 100 includes a roller 140, and the roller 140 is configured to roll along the driving surface of the stop. The rolling member 140 rolls along the driving surface to drive the pushing assembly 130 to move, so as to reduce friction between the pushing assembly 130 and the driving surface, and to make the pushing assembly 130 move more smoothly along the driving surface.
