Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of the present application, "a plurality" means two or more unless specifically limited otherwise.

Referring to fig. 1, a material separating mechanism provided in an embodiment of the present application will now be described. Illustratively, the material distribution mechanism is used as a part of the artificial tree production equipment, the artificial tree is mainly assembled by a trunk and iron wire branches 300, and the material distribution mechanism is mainly used for distributing the iron wire branches 300 of the artificial tree. Specifically, the material separating mechanism comprises a conveyor belt 1, a driving mechanism 2 and at least one pair of magnets 3.

The conveyor belt 1 is used for conveying iron wire branches 300 of the simulation tree. The wire branches 300 are usually packaged and transported in whole boxes after production, and before the trunk and the wire branches 300 are assembled, a plurality of disordered wire branches 300 need to be placed on the conveyor belt 1 for transmission, so that the wire branches 300 can be separated into single pieces later.

The drive mechanism 2 is connected with the conveyor belt 1 to drive the conveyor belt 1 to run, so that the wire branches 300 on the conveyor belt 1 move along with the conveyor belt 1. Optionally, the driving mechanism 2 is a motor, and an output end of the motor is connected with a rotating shaft at one end of the conveyor belt 1 through a belt, so that the motor drives the conveyor belt 1 to operate.

The magnets 3 of each pair are opposite in polarity and are respectively arranged oppositely on two sides of the conveyor belt 1. That is, one or more pairs of magnets 3 of opposite polarity are provided on either side of the conveyor belt 1. If the number of the magnets 3 is plural, plural pairs of the magnets 3 are arranged along the conveyor belt 1. The magnetic field intensity of the magnet 3 at the front end position in the advancing direction of the conveyor belt 1 is larger than the magnetic field intensity at the rear end position of the magnet 3, in other words, the magnetic field intensity formed by the magnet 3 gradually increases in the advancing direction of the conveyor belt 1. In the direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 1, the magnetic field intensity of the magnet 3 at the position far away from the conveyor belt 1 is greater than that at the position close to the conveyor belt 1; that is, the magnetic field intensity formed by the magnet 3 is gradually increased in the vertical direction from the approach to the conveyor belt 1 to the distance from the conveyor belt 1. In this way, the magnetic lines of force of the magnetic field formed between the opposing magnets 3 are divergent, and the magnetic field intensity at the upper front is the strongest and the magnetic field intensity at the rear lower side is the weakest in the forward direction of the conveyor belt 1.

When the iron wire branches 300 move along with the conveyor belt 1 and enter the magnetic field, the two ends of the iron wire branches 300 respectively generate attraction between the magnets 3 which are arranged oppositely to the two sides of the conveyor belt 1 and have opposite polarities, so that the iron wire branches 300 which are disordered originally are sequentially and gradually separated, and all the iron wire branches 300 are changed into posture arrangement parallel to the width direction of the conveyor belt 1; for example, the iron wire branches 300 originally placed on the conveyor belt 1 in an inclined posture gradually rotate by an angle under the action of the magnetic field until the iron wire branches 300 are parallel to the width direction of the conveyor belt 1; thus, all the iron wire branches 300 are arranged in a uniform posture which is separated at intervals and is orderly parallel. In addition, because the magnetic field intensity formed by the magnets 3 is gradually increased in the vertical direction from the position close to the conveyor belt 1 to the position far away from the conveyor belt 1, the iron wire branches 300 gradually leave the conveyor belt 1 and are suspended and conveyed obliquely upwards in the advancing direction along the conveyor belt 1 after entering the magnetic field, and the iron wire branches 300 can be conveniently grabbed by the subsequent grabbing mechanism 4 after being suspended and separated from the conveyor belt 1.

The working process of the material distribution mechanism is as follows: firstly, a plurality of disordered iron wire branches 300 are placed on a conveyor belt 1 of the material distribution mechanism, a driving mechanism 2 is started to drive the conveyor belt 1 to run, and the iron wire branches 300 placed on the conveyor belt 1 move along with the conveyor belt 1 and sequentially and gradually enter a magnetic field formed by a magnet 3. Because the magnetic field formed between the magnets 3 presents the characteristics of 'the magnetic field intensity at the upper front is strongest and the magnetic field intensity at the lower rear is weakest' along the advancing direction of the conveyor belt 1, the iron wire branches 300 which are originally disordered gradually form parallel and spaced orderly arrangement under the action of the magnetic field, and the iron wire branches 300 gradually separate from the conveyor belt 1 and are conveyed obliquely upwards in a hanging manner after reaching the position of the magnetic field intensity, so that the material distribution process is realized.

Compared with the prior art, the material distributing mechanism provided by the application has the advantages that the magnets 3 with opposite polarities are oppositely arranged on the two sides of the conveyor belt 1, further, the magnetic field intensity of the magnet 3 at the front end position in the advancing direction of the conveyor belt 1 is larger than the magnetic field intensity at the rear end position of the magnet 3, in the direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 1, the magnetic field strength of the magnet 3 at a position far from the conveyor belt 1 is greater than that at a position close to the conveyor belt 1, thus, after a plurality of disordered iron wire branches 300 enter the magnetic field along with the conveyor belt 1, the two ends of the iron wire branches 300 respectively generate suction force with the magnets 3 on the two sides of the conveyor belt 1, thereby the iron wire branch 300 can form interval orderly arrangement gradually under the effect of magnetic force, and the iron wire branch 300 leaves conveyer belt 1 transmission in the slant to subsequent snatch mechanism snatchs iron wire branch 300 and carries to appointed position gradually moreover. In a word, the material distributing mechanism can automatically distribute the iron wire branches 300 without manual participation, so that the labor cost is saved, and the material distributing efficiency is high; moreover, the iron wire branches 300 with different placing postures can be automatically changed into being placed in parallel to the width direction of the conveyor belt 1 under the action of the magnetic field generated by the magnet 3, the iron wire branches 300 are orderly arranged in parallel at intervals, the postures are uniform, the iron wire branches 300 can be conveniently and subsequently grabbed and fed, the grabbing difficulty of a grabbing mechanism can be reduced, and the grabbing accuracy is improved; the distributing mechanism adopts the conveyor belt 1 to convey the iron wire branches 300, has a simple overall structure and relatively small volume, and is higher in automation degree and production efficiency compared with the prior art.

In another embodiment of the present application, as shown in fig. 2, the pitch of the magnets 3 located on both sides of the conveyor belt 1 is gradually decreased in the advancing direction of the conveyor belt 1. This arrangement makes it possible to form the above-described "magnetic field having a gradually increasing magnetic field intensity in the direction of advancement of the conveyor belt 1" because the smaller the spacing between the opposed magnets 3, the stronger the magnetic field intensity.

Likewise, as shown in fig. 3, the pitch of the magnets 3 located on both sides of the conveyor belt 1 gradually decreases in the vertical direction from the approach to the conveyor belt 1 to the distance from the conveyor belt 1. Such an arrangement can form the above-described magnetic field "the magnetic field intensity is gradually increased in the vertical direction from the approach of the conveyor belt 1 to the departure from the conveyor belt 1

In another embodiment of the present application, referring to fig. 2 and 3, the number of magnets 3 is a pair, and the magnets 3 are plate-shaped. And the pair of magnets 3 are arranged in a figure-of-eight shape as viewed in the advancing direction along the conveyor belt 1 as shown in fig. 2, so that the distance between the pair of magnets 3 is gradually decreased and the magnetic field strength is gradually increased in the advancing direction along the conveyor belt 1. Similarly, the pair of magnets 3 are also arranged in a splayed shape when viewed from the direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 1, as shown in fig. 3, so that the distance between the pair of magnets 3 is gradually reduced and the magnetic field strength is gradually increased in the vertical direction from the approach of the conveyor belt 1 to the departure of the conveyor belt 1.

Further, the angle between the magnet 3 and a horizontal plane parallel to the conveyor belt 1 is 5-15 °, and the angle between the magnet 3 and a vertical plane perpendicular to the conveyor belt 1 is 5-15 °. This allows the opposed pair of magnets to be arranged in a figure of eight when viewed in the direction of advancement of the conveyor belt 1, and also in a figure of eight when viewed in plan in a direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 1. And when the included angle formed between the magnets 3 and the horizontal plane is 5-15 degrees, the magnetic field intensity formed between the magnets 3 is moderate, so that the iron wire branches 300 can be converted into a uniform posture parallel to the width direction of the conveyor belt 1 under the action of the magnetic field. Similarly, when the included angle formed between the magnets 3 and the vertical plane is 5-15 degrees, the magnetic field intensity formed between the magnets 3 is moderate, so that the wire branches 300 can be gradually separated from the conveyor belt 1 and conveyed upwards in an inclined mode under the action of the magnetic field.

In another embodiment of the present application, the number of magnets 3 may be a plurality of pairs, and the plurality of pairs of magnets 3 are spaced along the conveyor belt 1. In the advancing direction along the conveyor belt 1, the magnets located on the same side of the conveyor belt 1 are arranged to form an oblique straight line, so that the pairs of magnets 3 on both sides of the conveyor belt 1 are arranged in a splayed shape when viewed from the advancing direction along the conveyor belt 1. And in the vertical direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 1, the distance between each pair of magnets 3 is gradually reduced, and the included angle between each pair of magnets 3 and the vertical plane is the same, so that the plurality of pairs of magnets 3 are arranged in a splayed shape when viewed from the top in the direction perpendicular to the conveyor belt 1. In practical application, the size and the number of the magnets 3 can be flexibly set according to requirements.

Specifically, after the wire branches 300 enter the magnetic field along with the conveyor belt 1, the wire branches 300 are gradually separated into parallel arrangement at intervals under the action of the magnetic field and conveyed obliquely upward, and at this time, the grabbing mechanism 4 acts to grab the wire branches 300 which are suspended and separated from the conveyor belt 1 one by one and convey the wire branches to a specified position.

When the wire branch 300 moves to a preset position and is separated from the conveyor belt 1 to be conveyed upwards in an inclined mode, the clamping jaw 43 acts to clamp the wire branch 300, then the moving air cylinder 42 drives the clamping jaw 43 to move, so that the wire branch 300 is conveyed to a preparation position and the wire branch is released, and then the moving air cylinder 42 drives the clamping jaw 43 to move reversely to reset, so that the wire branch is ready for the next grabbing action.

In another embodiment of the present application, the gripping mechanism 4 further comprises a lifting cylinder, and the lifting cylinder is connected to the clamping jaw 43 to drive the clamping jaw 43 to lift.

It can be understood that the wire 300 has a head and a tail, and although the wire 300 can be turned into a position parallel to the width direction of the conveyor belt 1 under the action of the magnetic field after entering the magnetic field, in the actual production process, part of the wire 300 has its head facing the gripping device 4, and the other wire 300 has its tail facing the gripping device 4, that is, the wire 300 is in a 180 ° opposite posture in both cases. Considering that all the heads of the iron wire branches 300 need to face the same direction in the subsequent process, the additionally arranged rotary air cylinder can drive the clamping jaw 43 to rotate for 180 degrees, so that the grabbed iron wire branches 300 placed in the opposite direction can be rotated for 180 degrees, and finally all the iron wire branches 300 are released to the designated position in the same direction.
