What is an automatic sorting machine

Automatic sorting machine is generally composed of conveying machinery part, electrical automatic control part and computer information system networking. It can according to the user's requirements, site conditions, the cigarette, the whole box of cigarettes, drugs, goods, materials, according to the user, place name, product name for automatic sorting, packing, sealing of continuous operations. Mechanical conveying equipment according to the shape of conveying items, volume, weight and design customized. Sorting conveyor is one of the key equipments for sorting and sorting of logistics in factory automatic warehouse and logistics distribution center. The sorting system can realize the accurate and fast work of logistics center.

Type of automatic sorting machine

Sorting machine is divided into different types according to the structure of its sorting mechanism. The main types are as follows:

1. Baffle type sorter

Baffle type sorter is to use a baffle (block bar) to block the goods moving forward on the conveyor, the goods will be guided to one side of the slide discharge. Another form of baffle is one end of the baffle as a fulcrum, can be rotated. When the baffle is acting, it is like a wall to block the forward movement of the commodity. The friction force of the conveyor is used to push the commodity, so that the commodity moves along the surface of the baffle and is expelled from the main conveyor to the slide way. Usually the baffle is on the side of the main conveyor, so that the goods continue to move forward; If the baffle moves or rotates laterally, the goods will be aligned towards the slide,

Baffle is generally installed on both sides of the conveyor, and the plane on the conveyor is not in contact, even in the operation only contact goods and do not touch the conveyor surface, so it is suitable for most forms of conveyor. As far as the baffle itself is concerned, there are also different forms, such as linear, curvilinear, and some are equipped with a roller or smooth plastic material on the baffle working surface to reduce friction resistance.

2. Surface type sorter

Surfaced sorter is to lift the goods from the main conveyor, so as to guide the goods out of the main conveyor of a structural form. From the direction of leading away from the main conveyor, one is the leading direction and the main conveyor form a right Angle; The other is at a certain Angle (usually 30° - 45°). Generally, the former is less productive than the latter, and easy to produce a greater impact on the commodity.

Surface type sorting machine has the following forms:

(1) belt surfaced sorting machine, as shown in the figure. This sorting structure is used on the roller type main conveyor, where two or more power driven tapes or a single chain are installed laterally below the main conveyor rollers. When the sorter structure is instructed to start the inch, tape or chain up, contact the bottom of the commodity back to the commodity, and move it out of the main delivery hungry side.

(2) roller surfaced sorting machine, as shown in the figure. This sorting mechanism is used on the roller or chain type main conveyor, where one or dozens of powered oblique rollers are installed under the surface of the main conveyor. Sorting mechanism start, oblique roller upward floating, contact with the bottom of the goods, goods oblique move out of the main conveyor - this floating sorting machine, one is to use a row of left or [mountain right rotation of the roller, with Qigong promotion, the goods left or right discharge.

3. Tilt type sorter

(1) slant type sorting machine, as shown in the figure. This is a special type of slat conveyor, the goods are loaded on the slat conveyor, when the goods walk to the position to be sorted, the end of the slat automatically rises, causing the slat to tilt, so as to move the goods away from the main conveyor. The BOARD NUMBER THAT COMMODITY TAKES UP IS SUFFICIENT ALONG WITH THE LENGTH OF DIFFERENT COMMODITY AND DECIDE, THE BOARD NUMBER THAT CLASSICS TAKES UP IS LIKE A UNIT, AT THE SAME TIME TILT, ACCORDINGLY, THIS KIND OF SORTING MACHINE IS NOT RESTRICTED INSIDE CERTAIN LIMITS TO THE LENGTH OF COMMODITY.

(2) turning tray type sorting machine, as shown in the figure. The sorter is made up of a series of hinged plates that tilt to the left or right. Load the plate line of goods to a certain position, the plate tilt, turn the goods to the side of the slide, in order to reduce the impact of commodity dumping, some sorting machine can control goods to parabolic shape to dump out of goods. The sorting machine can be arbitrary to the shape and size of the goods, but not beyond the plate for the limit. For long items can be placed across two plates, both plates tilt at the same time when tipped. This sorting machine can often use circular continuous transmission, which occupies a small area, and because it is a horizontal cycle, when used can be divided into several sections, each section of a sorting signal input device, in order to input goods, and sorting out the goods in the same slide discharge, so that you can improve the sorting ability.

4. Slider type sorter

Slider type sorting machine as shown in the figure, it is also a special form of strip conveyor. The surface of the conveyor is made of metal strip or pipe, such as bamboo mat, and on each strip or pipe there is a guide slider made of hard material, which can slide horizontally along the strip. Usually the slider stop on the side of the conveyor, the lower part of the slider is connected with the guide rod under the plate, through the computer control, when the goods are sorted to the specified crossing, the controller makes? The slide block automatically slides to the opposite side of the conveyor in an orderly manner, pushing the goods into the sorting entrance, so that the goods are led out of the main conveyor. This way is the side of the goods gradually rolled out, does not impact the goods, so the goods are not easy to damage, it is a wide range of shape and size of the sorting goods, is the latest foreign high-speed sorting machine.

5. Tray type sorting machine

Tray type sorting machine is a very widely used model, it is mainly composed of tray trolley, drive device, traction device and so on. There are various forms of pallet trolley, such as flat tray trolley, U-shaped pallet trolley, cross belt pallet trolley and so on.

The traditional flat tray trolley uses the disk to turn over and unload the goods by gravity. It has a simple structure, but it has the disadvantages of unstable loading position and long unloading time, which leads to the instability of high-speed sorting and the size of the pass width is too large.

Cross with the characteristics of the pallet car is cancelled the traditional disk tilting, using the gravity of the landed goods structure, and under the body can set up a two-way operation of short conveyor belt (also known as the cross belt), use it to accept the cargo, and the drag chain traction to run to the mouth, again by cross belt transport, mandatory discharge the goods into the left or on the right side of the mouth. The cross belt tray sorter is shown in the picture.

6. Hanging sorter

Hanging sorting machine is to use traction chain (or wire rope) for traction what sorting equipment, according to whether there is a branch line, it can be divided into two types of fixed suspension and push suspension. The former is used for sorting and conveying goods, and only the main conveyor line, spreader and traction chain are connected together. The latter has a storage branch line in addition to the main conveyor line, and has various functions such as sorting, storage and conveying goods, as shown in the figure.

(1) The fixed hanging sorting machine is mainly composed of hanging trolley, conveying track, driving device, tensioning device, coding device, clamp and so on. During the sorting, the cargo crane is clamped in the clamps of the hanging trolley, controlled by the coding device, and the cargo is unloaded onto the specified handling trolley or sorting slide by the clamp release mechanism.

(2) The push-type suspension machine has the advantages of flexible line layout, allowing line climbing and so on, which is widely used in cargo sorting and storage business.

(3) hanging sorter has the characteristics of hanging in the air, using space for operation, it is suitable for sorting box and bag goods, the shape of the packaging is not high, the weight of the sorting goods is large, generally up to 100 kilograms, but the machine needs a special site.

7. Roller type sorting machine

Roller type sorting machine is used for the delivery of goods, storage and sorting equipment, according to the needs of the process of processing goods, can be arranged into a horizontal form, can also be used together with the elevator to form a three-dimensional warehouse

Roller sorting machine local roller sorting machine in the roller machine of each group of rollers (generally composed of 3-4 rollers, and the width or length of the goods) have their own independent power, can be stored according to the requirements of the goods and branch, by the computer control of each group of rollers rotation or stop. In the process of cargo transportation, photoelectric sensors are set up at the positions that need to be stored and divided for detection. When the goods are transported to the position to be divided, the photoelectric sensor will give the detection signal, and the computer will control the group of rollers under the goods to stop rotating, and control the propeller to start the action, the goods will be pushed into the corresponding branch, to realize the sorting of goods.

Roller sorting machine is generally suitable for good packaging, flat bottom box loaded goods, its sorting capacity is high but the structure is more complex, the price is higher.

Application of integrated stepper motor in automatic sorting machine

The sorter uses an integrated closed-loop stepper motor, the motor through the gear control dial for smooth rotation, to control the items to the specified track.
