Detailed Description

The embodiment of the invention provides a lane dividing mechanism and a lane dividing method, which are used for realizing high-efficiency lane dividing transmission in an easily controlled mode.

In order to make the objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the embodiments described below are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The technical scheme of the invention is further explained by the specific implementation mode in combination with the attached drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a lane dividing mechanism according to an embodiment of the present invention, fig. 2 is a left side view of the lane dividing mechanism shown in fig. 1, and fig. 3 is a top view of the lane dividing mechanism shown in fig. 1.

Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, the lane mechanism of the embodiment of the present invention includes a transfer area 1, a first guide bar 6, a second guide bar 7, a first cylinder 9, a rolling wheel 10, and a connecting member 12.

The conveying area 1 is used for conveying the articles 2, for example, the conveying area 1 is a conveying belt, the articles 2 are moon cakes, and the moon cakes can be conveyed on the conveying belt. The outlet end of the conveying zone 1 is intended to be located opposite the inlet end of the first conveying run 3 and the inlet end of the second conveying run 4. The relative arrangement represents a small predetermined distance apart which allows the articles 2 to cross from the conveying zone 1 to the entry end of the first conveying path 3 and the entry end of the second conveying path 4. The first lane 3 and the second lane 4 are two lanes, and lane conveying of the articles 2 is achieved by sorting the articles 2 from the conveying area 1 to the first lane 3 or the second lane 4.

The first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7 extend on the conveying zone 1 in the conveying direction of the conveying zone 1, the first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7 are arranged at intervals, a guide track 8 is formed between the first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7, and the guide track 8 is used for guiding the conveying of the articles 2. In other words, the articles 2 conveyed by the conveying zone 1 are conveyed between the first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7, the first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7 guiding the conveying trajectory of the articles 2.

In the present embodiment, the conveying zone 1 and the first guide rail 8 may be spaced apart, slidably connected by rollers, directly contacted, or the like. The conveying zone 1 and the second guide track 8 may be arranged at intervals, slidingly connected by rollers or in direct contact, etc.

The first cylinder 9 is located above the transfer zone 1. For example, the first cylinder 9 is mounted on a support mechanism, or the first cylinder 9 is mounted on a wall, or the like.

As shown in fig. 4, the rolling wheel 10 is fixedly connected with the piston rod of the first cylinder 9, and the side surface of the rolling wheel 10 is provided with an annular groove 11. Wherein, the rolling wheel 10 can be a cylinder structure. For example, the upper end surface of the rolling wheel 10 is fixedly connected with the piston rod of the first cylinder 9, and a groove 11 is arranged around the side surface of the rolling wheel 10.

As shown in fig. 4, the connector 12 includes a connecting plate 13, a first connecting post 15, and a second connecting post 16. The connecting plate 13 is provided with a sliding chute 14, and the sliding chute 14 is in sliding connection with the groove 11. One end of the first connecting column 15 is fixedly connected with the connecting plate 13, and the other end of the first connecting column 15 is rotatably connected with the first guide rod 6. One end of the second connecting column 16 is fixedly connected with the connecting plate 13, and the other end of the second connecting column 16 is rotatably connected with the second guide rod 7. Thus, the first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7 are suspended by the link 12 and the rolling wheels 10.

Wherein the first air cylinder 9 is used for controlling the movement of the outlet of the guide track 8 between the inlet end of the first conveyor path 3 and the inlet end of the second conveyor path 4 by means of the piston rod of the first air cylinder 9.

Specifically, the telescopic motion of the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 can move the position of the rolling wheel 10, and due to the sliding connection of the groove 11 of the rolling wheel 10 and the sliding groove 14 of the connecting plate 13, the first connecting column 15 is rotatably connected with the first guiding rod 6, and the second connecting column 16 is rotatably connected with the second guiding rod 7, so that the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 can drive the first guiding rod 6 and the second guiding rod 7 to swing, that is, the linear telescopic motion of the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 can enable the first guiding rod 6 and the second guiding rod 7 to swing in an arc shape. The exit ends of the first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7 follow the oscillation so that the orientation of the exit of the guide track 8 moves between the entrance end of the first conveyor path 3 and the entrance end of the second conveyor path 4. In this way, the linear telescopic motion of the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 is converted into the arc-shaped swing motion of the first guide rod 6 and the second guide rod 7. As the articles 2 are conveyed along the guide track 8, the articles 2 are conveyed by the conveying zone 1 out of the exit of the guide track 8 and onto different conveying lanes. For example, as shown in fig. 3, the outlet of the guide track 8 is directed toward the inlet end of the first conveying path 3, and the articles 2 are conveyed out of the outlet of the guide track 8 and then are conveyed by the conveying area 1 to the inlet end of the first conveying path 3 to enter the first conveying path 3; as shown in fig. 5, the exit of the guide track 8 is directed towards the entrance end of the second conveying path 4, and the articles 2 are conveyed out of the exit of the guide track 8 and then conveyed by the conveying area 1 to the entrance end of the second conveying path 4 to enter the second conveying path 4. Because the telescopic motion of the piston rod of the first air cylinder 9 is easy to control, the objects 2 on the conveying area 1 can be controlled to be conveyed to the first conveying passage 3 or the second conveying passage 4 through the telescopic motion of the piston rod of the first air cylinder 9, and therefore high-efficiency lane conveying is achieved.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the lane dividing mechanism further includes a blocking cylinder 17, and the blocking cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the first guide rod 6 or the second guide rod 7. For example, the cylinder body of the blocking cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the first guide rod 6 or the second guide rod 7.

The blocking cylinder 17 is used to control the passage of the article 2 on the guide rail 8 by the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 17. Specifically, the end of the piston rod of the catch cylinder 17 is provided with an abutment, for example of soft glue. The piston rod of the blocking cylinder 17 is extended and the abutment abuts the article 2 on the guide rail 8, prohibiting the article 2 from passing on the guide rail 8. When the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 17 is retracted, the objects 2 pass smoothly over the guide rail 8. In this way, by providing the blocking cylinder 17, the passage of the articles 2 on the guide rail 8 can be flexibly controlled.

Thus, the articles 2 conveyed on the guide rail 8 can be accurately conveyed to the corresponding transmission path through the passing control of the blocking cylinder 17. For example, when the articles 2 on the guide rail 8 need to be transferred onto the second transfer lane 4, the blocking cylinder 17 blocks the passage of the articles 2 on the guide rail 8. After the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 controls the outlet of the guide track 8 towards the inlet end of the second conveyor path 4, the blocking cylinder 17 clears the articles 2 on the guide track 8. The articles 2 transferred to the second transfer lane 4 are instead transferred to the first transfer lane 3 in a similar manner as described above, except that the extension and retraction directions of the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 are reversed.

Optionally, as shown in fig. 1, the lane mechanism further includes a detection sensor 18. The detection sensor 18 is provided at the tip of the first guide bar 6 or the second guide bar 7. The detection sensor 18 is, for example, an electric eye switch, an infrared detection sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, or the like. The detection sensor 18 is in communication with the first cylinder 9.

The detection sensor 18 is used to detect whether there is an article 2 at the exit of the guide rail 8. In a specific example of use, when the detection sensor 18 detects an object 2 at the exit of the guide rail 8, the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 pauses the movement that controls the orientation of the exit of the guide rail 8. When the detection sensor 18 detects that the outlet of the guide rail 8 is free of articles 2, the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 controls the movement of the orientation of the outlet of the guide rail 8. In this way, when the articles 2 are present at the exit of the guide track 8, it is possible to avoid throwing or crushing the articles 2 caused by the rotation of the first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7.

The first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7 are connected to the transfer area 1 in various ways.

In one example, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, the lane mechanism further includes a support bracket 19, a first connecting rod 20, and a second connecting rod 21. The support 19 is located above the transport zone 1. For example, the support frame 19 spans above the conveying zone 1 by being supported by a rack.

Wherein, one end of the first connecting rod 20 is fixedly connected with the supporting frame 19, and the other end of the first connecting rod 20 is rotatably connected with the first guiding rod 6. One end of the second connecting rod 21 is fixedly connected with the supporting frame 19, and the other end of the second connecting rod 21 is rotatably connected with the second guide rod 7.

In this way, the cooperation of the first connecting rod 20, the second connecting rod 21 and the connecting member 12 enables the first guiding rod 6 and the second guiding rod 7 to be arranged in a suspended manner relative to the conveying area 1, and the friction force of the conveying area 1 on the first guiding rod 6 and the second guiding rod 7 is avoided. And, on the first guide bar 6, the first connection post 15 is rotatably connected to the first guide bar 6, and the first connection rod 20 is rotatably connected to the first guide bar 6. On the second guide bar 7, the second connecting rod 16 is rotatably connected to the second guide bar 7, and the second connecting rod 21 is rotatably connected to the second guide bar 7. This makes it easier for the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 to control the swinging of the first guide rod 6 and the second guide rod 7, and the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 in turn drives the rolling wheel 10 and the connecting member 12, so that the first guide rod 6 and the second guide rod 7 can swing.

Alternatively, the first connecting post 15 and the first guide bar 6 are rotatably connected by a bearing embedded in the first guide bar 6. The second connecting column 16 and the second guide rod 7 are rotatably connected by a bearing embedded in the second guide rod 7. The first connecting rod 20 and the first guide rod 6 are rotatably connected by a bearing embedded in the first guide rod 6. The second connecting rod 21 and the second guide rod 7 are rotatably connected by a bearing embedded in the second guide rod 7.

Specifically, bearings are embedded in the first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7, and the first connecting rod 15, the second connecting rod 16, the first connecting rod 20, and the second connecting rod 21 are fixedly connected to different inner rings of the bearings. In this way, the rotational connection of the first connecting column 15, the first connecting rod 20 and the first guide rod 6, and the rotational connection of the second connecting column 16, the second connecting rod 21 and the second guide rod 7 are facilitated. And reduces friction between the components.

The lane dividing mechanism of the embodiment of the invention can be used for dividing a plurality of conveying lanes of the object 2. For example, as shown in fig. 1 and 4, the lane mechanism further includes a second cylinder 22. The piston rod of the second cylinder 22 is fixedly connected with the cylinder body of the first cylinder 9. Wherein, the extension and contraction directions of the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 and the piston rod of the second cylinder 22 are the same.

In this way, the moving distance of the rolling wheel 10 can be extended by the combination of the telescopic movement of the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 and the piston rod of the second cylinder 22, and the swing range of the outlet of the guide rail 8 can be extended.

In the present embodiment, the outlet end of the conveying zone 1 is also intended to be located opposite the inlet end of the third conveying path 5. Wherein, the inlet end of the first conveying passage 3, the inlet end of the second conveying passage 4 and the inlet end of the third conveying passage 5 are arranged side by side.

The first and second air cylinders 9 and 22 are used for controlling the movement of the outlet of the guide rail 8 between the inlet end of the first transfer passage 3, the inlet end of the second transfer passage 4, and the inlet end of the third transfer passage 5 by the piston rod of the first air cylinder 9 and the piston rod of the second air cylinder 22.

For example, the inlet end of the third conveying passage 5, the inlet end of the first conveying passage 3, and the inlet end of the second conveying passage 4 are arranged side by side in this order. When the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 is extended and the piston rod of the second cylinder 22 is extended, as shown in fig. 6, the outlet of the guide rail 8 is directed toward the inlet end of the third transfer passage 5. When the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 is extended and the piston rod of the second cylinder 22 is retracted, as shown in fig. 3, the outlet of the guide rail 8 is directed toward the inlet end of the first transfer passage 3. When the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 and the piston rod of the second cylinder 22 contract, the outlet of the guide rail 8 is directed towards the inlet end of the second transfer duct 4, as shown in fig. 5. In this way, the articles 2 of the conveying zone 1 can be lane-conveyed on three conveying lanes by a combination of the telescopic movement of the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 and the piston rod of the second cylinder 22.

There are various conditions for controlling the telescopic movement of the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 and the piston rod of the second cylinder 22, such as time conditions, signal indication conditions of other devices, and the like. For example, as shown in fig. 3, the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 is extended, the piston rod of the second cylinder 22 is retracted, and the outlet of the guide rail 8 is directed toward the inlet end of the first carryway 3, so that the conveying zone 1 conveys the articles 2 to the first carryway 3. When a jamming condition occurs in the first conveying path 3, the detecting device of the first conveying path 3 sends an abnormal signal to the lane dividing mechanism, the lane dividing mechanism controls the piston rod of the first air cylinder 9 to extend and the piston rod of the second air cylinder 22 to extend, as shown in fig. 6, the outlet of the guide rail 8 faces the inlet end of the third conveying path 5, so that the conveying area 1 conveys the object 2 to the third conveying path 5.

It should be understood that the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 may be controlled by a solenoid valve provided on the first cylinder 9. The extension and retraction of the piston rod of the second cylinder 22 can be controlled by a solenoid valve provided in the second cylinder 22. Specifically, the action of the electromagnetic valve is controlled by calculating the time length of the telescopic motion of the piston rod, so that the telescopic distance of the piston rod is controlled.

It should be understood that the first cylinder 9 and the second cylinder 22 of the embodiment of the present invention may be provided on the support plate 24, and the support plate 24 is located above the conveying zone 1. For example, as shown in fig. 1, the block of the second cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the support plate 24.

There are several ways of implementing the lane splitting of the articles 2 on the transport zone 1.

In one specific implementation, the lane mechanism further includes a gold inspection machine 23. Wherein the gold detection machine 23 is arranged above the conveying area 1, and the gold detection machine 23 is closer to the upstream of the conveying area 1 than the first air cylinder 9. The gold detection machine 23 is used to detect whether the object 2 comprises metal.

Wherein, the gold detecting machine 23 is connected with the first cylinder 9 in a communication way. According to the detection result of the gold detection machine 23, the telescopic motion of the piston rod of the first air cylinder 9 can be controlled, so that the direction of the outlet of the guide rail 8 is controlled, and the object 2 can be divided.

It should be understood that, in addition to the case where the telescopic movement of the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 is controlled based on the detection result of the gold inspection machine 23, the telescopic movement of the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 may be controlled based on other conditions. For example, after a preset time, the movement of the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 is controlled to change the orientation of the outlet of the guide rail 8.

For example, when the gold inspection machine 23 detects that the articles 2 do not include metal, the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 is extended by a predetermined distance so that the exit of the guide rail 8 faces the entrance end of the first conveying path 3, the guide rail 8 changes the conveying trajectory of the articles 2, and the articles 2 are conveyed to the first conveying path 3 by the conveying section 1 after leaving the exit of the guide rail 8. When the gold inspection machine 23 detects that the articles 2 comprise metal, the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 is retracted by a preset distance so that the outlet of the guide rail 8 faces the inlet end of the second conveying path 4, the guide rail 8 changes the conveying trajectory of the articles 2, and the articles 2 are conveyed to the second conveying path 4 by the conveying area 1 after leaving the outlet of the guide rail 8.

After a predetermined time, for example 5 seconds, after the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 has been retracted a predetermined distance so that the outlet of the guide track 8 is directed towards the inlet end of the second conveying path 4, it is determined that the articles 2 leave the outlet of the guide track 8 and are conveyed by the conveying zone 1 to the second conveying path 4, the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 being extended a predetermined distance so that the outlet of the guide track 8 is directed towards the inlet end of the first conveying path 3 so that the articles 2, which do not comprise metal, are conveyed by the conveying zone 1 to the first conveying path 3.

In some embodiments of the invention, the gold detection machine 23 is also communicatively coupled to the barrier cylinder 17. Therefore, according to the detection result of the gold detection machine 23, the condition of the telescopic movement of the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 17 can be controlled so as to control the passing of the object 2 on the guide track 8.

When the gold detecting machine 23 detects that the object 2 comprises metal, the object 2 needs to be divided, so that the first guide rod 6 and the second guide rod 7 need to be swung, in order to protect the object 2 between the first guide rod 6 and the second guide rod 7 and avoid the object 2 from being damaged, before the first guide rod 6 and the second guide rod 7 are swung, the passing of the object 2 on the guide rail 8 is blocked by the blocking air cylinder 17.

Alternatively, the conveying area 1 is a conveyor belt, the articles 2 are moon cakes, the first conveying path 3 is used for conveying the articles 2 not comprising metal, and the second conveying path 4 is used for conveying the articles 2 comprising metal.

Thus, when the gold inspection machine 23 detects that the moon cakes comprise metal, as shown in fig. 5, the piston rod of the first air cylinder 9 controls the outlet of the guide rail 8 to face the inlet end of the second conveying passage 4, so that the moon cakes are conveyed into the second conveying passage 4 by the conveying belt after flowing out of the outlet of the guide rail 8.

When the gold inspection machine 23 detects that the moon cake does not include metal, as shown in fig. 3, the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 controls the outlet of the guide rail 8 toward the inlet end of the first conveying passage 3. So that the moon cakes are conveyed into the first conveying passage 3 by the conveying belt after flowing out of the outlet of the guide track 8.

It will be appreciated that in the example where the lane dividing mechanism further comprises a second cylinder 22, the outlet end of the conveying zone 1 is also intended to be located opposite the inlet end of the third conveying lane 5, the third conveying lane 5 may be used to convey articles 2 that do not comprise metal. In this way, in case of a blockage or the like of the first conveying path 3, as shown in fig. 6, the lane dividing mechanism can control the moon cakes on the conveying area 1 to be conveyed into the third conveying path 5.

In summary, the lane dividing mechanism of the embodiment of the present invention includes the conveying area 1, the first guide rod 6, the second guide rod 7, the first cylinder 9, the rolling wheel 10, and the connecting member 12. Wherein the conveying zone 1 is adapted to convey articles 2 and the outlet end of the conveying zone 1 is adapted to be arranged opposite the inlet end of the first conveying path 3 and the inlet end of the second conveying path 4. The articles 2 on the transfer zone 1 may be diverted onto a first lane 3 and a second lane 4. The first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7 extend in the conveying direction of the conveying zone 1 on the conveying zone 1, the first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7 are arranged at intervals, a guide track 8 is formed between the first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7, and the guide track 8 is used for guiding the conveying of the objects 2, so that the objects 2 on the conveying zone 1 are conveyed between the first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7. The first cylinder 9 is positioned above the conveying area 1, the rolling wheel 10 is fixedly connected with a piston rod of the first cylinder 9, and an annular groove 11 is formed in the side surface of the rolling wheel 10. Connecting piece 12 includes connecting plate 13, first spliced pole 15, and second spliced pole 16, is equipped with spout 14 on the connecting plate 13, spout 14 and recess 11 sliding connection, the one end and the connecting plate 13 fixed connection of first spliced pole 15, the other end and the first guide rod 6 of first spliced pole 15 rotate to be connected, the one end and the connecting plate 13 fixed connection of second spliced pole 16, the other end and the second guide rod 7 of second spliced pole 16 rotate to be connected. In this way, the telescopic motion of the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 can control the rolling wheel 10 to move, and because the groove 11 of the rolling wheel 10 is slidably connected with the chute 14 of the connecting plate 13, the first connecting column 15 is rotatably connected with the first guide rod 6, and the second connecting column 16 is rotatably connected with the second guide rod 7, the moving rolling wheel 10 can drive the first guide rod 6 and the second guide rod 7 to deflect. In this way, the first cylinder 9 is used to control the movement of the outlet of the guide track 8 between the inlet end of the first conveyor path 3 and the inlet end of the second conveyor path 4 by means of the piston rod of the first cylinder 9. The telescopic motion of the piston rod of the first air cylinder 9 is easy to control, and the objects 2 on the conveying area 1 can be controlled to be conveyed to the first conveying passage 3 or the second conveying passage 4 through the telescopic motion of the piston rod of the first air cylinder 9, so that high-efficiency lane conveying is realized.

As shown in fig. 7, an embodiment of the present invention further provides a lane dividing method, which can be applied to the lane dividing mechanism of each of the above embodiments, for example, the lane dividing mechanism shown in fig. 1.

The lane dividing method of the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps:

step 701: the articles are conveyed along the guide tracks by the conveying zone.

The articles 2 are supplied to the transfer zone 1, the articles 2 are transferred through the transfer zone 1, and the articles 2 are transferred within a guide track 8 formed between the first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7, so that the moving trajectory of the articles 2 is guided by the guide track 8.

Step 702: when the articles meet the preset condition, the piston rod of the first air cylinder extends out, so that the outlet of the guide track faces the inlet end of the first conveying channel.

And according to whether the object 2 meets the preset condition or not, carrying out lane transmission on the object 2. The orientation of the outlet of the guide track 8 is controlled by the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 to move between the inlet end of the first conveyor path 3 and the inlet end of the second conveyor path 4 to achieve a specific lane-dividing operation.

When the articles 2 meet the preset conditions, the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 is extended so that the outlet of the guide rail 8 is directed toward the inlet end of the first transfer lane 3, so that the articles 2 are transferred to the first transfer lane 3 after leaving the outlet of the guide rail 8.

Step 703: when the object does not meet the preset condition, the piston rod of the first air cylinder contracts so that the outlet of the guide track faces the inlet end of the second conveying channel.

When the articles 2 meet the preset conditions, the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 is extended so that the outlet of the guide track 8 is directed towards the inlet end of the first conveying path 3, so that the articles 2 are conveyed to the second conveying path 4 after leaving the outlet of the guide track 8.

The steps 702 and 703 are two parallel steps. In this way, the articles 2 are diverted to the first lane 3 and the second lane 4 according to whether the articles 2 meet the predetermined condition.

Step 704: the articles are conveyed out of the outlet of the guide track through the conveying zone.

After the exit orientation of the guide track 8 is determined, the transfer zone 1 continues to transfer the articles 2, transferring the articles 2 out of the exit of the guide track 8, at which point the movement trajectory of the articles 2 is changed by the guide track 8, i.e. by the first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7. After the articles 2 have been conveyed out of the outlet of the guide track 8, the conveying zone 1 conveys the articles 2 to different conveying lanes, so that the articles 2 are conveyed lane-by-lane.

Optionally, the lane dividing mechanism further comprises a gold detection machine 23, and the gold detection machine 23 is in communication connection with the first air cylinder 9. The gold inspection machine 23 is disposed above the conveying section 1, and the gold inspection machine 23 is located upstream of the conveying section 1 from the first cylinder 9.

The predetermined condition is that the gold inspection machine 23 does not detect that the object 2 comprises metal.

At this time, in a specific example, the conveying area 1 is a conveying belt, the articles 2 are moon cakes, the first conveying path 3 is used for conveying the articles 2 not including metal, and the second conveying path 4 is used for conveying the articles 2 including metal.

In summary, the lane dividing method according to the embodiments of the present invention is applied to the lane dividing mechanism according to the above embodiments. In the lane-dividing method of the embodiment of the present invention, the articles 2 are conveyed along the guide rail 8 by the conveying zone 1. When the articles 2 meet the preset conditions, the piston rod, which is passed through the first cylinder 9, is extended so that the outlet of the guide track 8 is directed towards the inlet end of the first conveyor path 3. Alternatively, when the articles 2 do not meet the preset conditions, the piston rod by the first cylinder 9 is retracted so that the outlet of the guide track 8 is directed towards the inlet end of the second conveyor path 4. The articles 2 are then conveyed out of the exit of the guide track 8 through the transfer zone 1, so that the articles 2 are conveyed by the transfer zone 1 to a different conveying lane. The telescopic motion of the piston rod of the first air cylinder 9 is easy to control, and the objects 2 on the conveying area 1 can be controlled to be conveyed to the first conveying passage 3 or the second conveying passage 4 through the telescopic motion of the piston rod of the first air cylinder 9, so that high-efficiency lane conveying is realized.

In order to more intuitively understand the lane dividing mechanism and the lane dividing method according to the embodiment of the present invention, a specific use scenario will be presented below for the lane dividing mechanism using the lane dividing method according to the embodiment of the present invention.

The conveying area 1 is a conveying belt, the articles 2 are moon cakes, the first conveying channel 3 is used for conveying the moon cakes without metal, the second conveying channel 4 is used for conveying the moon cakes with metal, and the third conveying channel 5 is used for conveying the moon cakes without metal.

As shown in fig. 1, the third conveyance lane 5 and the second conveyance lane 4 are disposed on both sides of the first conveyance lane 3. The exit end of the conveyor belt is disposed opposite the entrance end of the third conveying path 5, the entrance end of the second conveying path 4, and the entrance end of the first conveying path 3, respectively.

The cradled moon cakes are fed closely one by one from the upstream of the conveyor belt, first between the first guide bar 6 and the second guide bar 7, and are conveyed on the guide track 8 by the conveyor belt. The moon cake passes through the gold inspection machine 23, and whether the moon cake contains metal is detected by the gold inspection machine 23. At the beginning, the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 is extended and the piston rod of the second cylinder 22 is retracted, as shown in fig. 3, the outlet of the guide rail 8 is directed toward the inlet end of the first conveying passage 3, and the moon cakes are conveyed to the first conveying passage 3 by the conveyor belt.

When the gold detection machine 23 detects that the moon cake comprises metal, the gold detection machine 23 gives an alarm. And the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 17 extends out to block the moon cake from passing on the guide track 8. The gold detection machine 23 has a detection range, for example, the gold detection machine 23 can detect whether metal exists in a distance of 30 cm before and after the gold detection machine 23. When the gold detection machine 23 detects that the moon cakes comprise metal, in order to avoid rejecting excessive good moon cakes in the guide rail 8, the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 17 can be extended after the gold detection machine 23 detects that the moon cakes comprise metal for 1 second, so that the speed is fixed due to the movement of the conveying belt, and the moon cakes comprising metal can be guaranteed to be blocked by the blocking cylinder 17 on the guide rail 8 when the moon cakes are about to flow to the tail ends of the first guide rod and the second guide rod.

When the detection sensor 18 detects that there is no moon cake at the outlet of the guide rail 8, the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 is contracted, and at this time, the piston rod of the second cylinder 22 is kept contracted, as shown in fig. 5, with the outlet of the guide rail 8 facing the inlet end of the second conveyance way 4. After the first guide rod 6 and the second guide rod 7 are turned to the right position, the piston rod of the blocking air cylinder 17 is contracted, moon cakes are released on the guide rail 8, and the detected unqualified moon cakes are conveyed to the second conveying channel 4 by the conveying belt. After the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 17 contracts for 5 seconds, the moon cakes which are detected to be unqualified can be determined to be conveyed out of the guide rail 8, so that the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 17 extends out, and the moon cakes are prevented from passing on the guide rail 8. When the detection sensor 18 detects that no moon cake is present at the outlet of the guide track 8, the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 is extended, at which time the piston rod of the second cylinder 22 is kept retracted, the outlet of the guide track 8 faces the inlet end of the first conveying passage 3, and the moon cake is conveyed by the conveyor belt to the first conveying passage 3.

First transfer way 3 and third transfer way 5 are qualified product lines, and first transfer way 3 and third transfer way 5 are connected packagine machine respectively, and when the moon cake came the material volume and is greater than packagine machine processing speed, a certain qualified product line can the putty, is equipped with the electric eye on qualified product line, if a qualified product line takes place the putty, then this qualified product line triggers the electric eye signal, and after lane mechanism obtained this electric eye signal, the removal of the orientation of steerable guide track 8's export. For example, at the beginning, the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 is extended and the piston rod of the second cylinder 22 is contracted, as shown in fig. 3, the outlet of the guide rail 8 is directed toward the inlet end of the first conveying passage 3, and the moon cakes are conveyed to the first conveying passage 3 by the conveyor belt. The first conveying channel 3 is blocked, the electric eye of the first conveying channel 3 triggers an electric eye signal, and the channel dividing mechanism acquires the electric eye signal, so that the piston rod of the air cylinder 17 is prevented from extending out, and the moon cake is prevented from passing on the guide rail 8. When the detection sensor 18 detects that there is no moon cake at the outlet of the guide rail 8, the piston rod of the second cylinder 22 is extended, while the piston rod of the first cylinder 9 remains extended, as shown in fig. 6, with the outlet of the guide rail 8 facing the inlet end of the third conveying passage 5. The piston rod of the blocking cylinder 17 contracts, moon cakes are released on the guide rail 8, and the moon cakes are conveyed to the third conveying passage 5 by the conveying belt. Thereby playing the shunting role of qualified product lines.

The lane dividing mechanism and the lane dividing method of the embodiment of the invention take the air cylinder as the driving part, thereby having simple control and small occupied space and being suitable for the condition of few lanes. In addition, the lane dividing mechanism is simple in structure, cost can be saved, and the lane dividing mechanism is suitable for metal detection of large-batch moon cake lines.
