As shown in fig. 1, the material separating device provided by the embodiment of the invention comprises a material separating device. The material distributing device comprises a feeder 1, a feeding rail 2, a material distributing plate 5, a linear guide rail pair and a driving unit, wherein the feeder 1 is provided with a discharge hole. The feeding track 2 has relative first end and second end, and first end and discharge gate intercommunication, feeding track 2 slant decline, and feeding track 2 follows to wait to divide material 4 to rely on its self weight to hold the landing from the first end to the second, prevents to wait to divide material 4 to pile up on feeding track 2, and the influence is waited to divide the transport of material 4. A plurality of distributing grooves 6 are formed at intervals along the length direction of the distributing plate 5, and each distributing groove 6 is controllable to be connected with the second end and used for receiving the materials to be distributed 4 sliding from the second end of the feeding track 2. The linear guide rail pair is used for driving the material distribution plate 5 to do reciprocating linear motion, the material distribution plate 5 has a plurality of motion periods, and in each motion period, the linear motion distance of the material distribution plate 5 is equal to the distance between two adjacent material distribution grooves 6. The driving unit is used for providing driving force for the linear guide rail pair.

In specific implementation, the feeder 1 may be a vibrating feeder, a hopper of the vibrating feeder vibrates up and down in a twisting manner, so that the material 4 to be distributed moves along the spiral track and is automatically arranged and oriented until the material 4 to be distributed is output from a discharge port of the feeder 1, and the type of the feeder 1 is set according to actual conditions, which is not specifically limited herein.

It should be noted that there is a certain gap between the second end of the feeding rail 2 and the material distributing plate 5, and the gap is used to ensure that there is no interference with the feeding rail 2 during the sliding of the material distributing plate 5.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a pressing plate 3 is arranged above the feeding track 2 in parallel, and the distance between the pressing plate 3 and the slide way of the feeding track 2 accommodates at most one material 4 to be distributed. When the material 4 is waited to divide in the transport of feed track 2, a plurality ofly wait to divide material 4 along the length direction parallel arrangement of feed track 2 in the slide that feed track 2 has, parallel clamp plate 3 is used for control to wait to divide material 4 to pile up on feed track 2, effectively avoids once carrying a plurality ofly to wait to divide material 4 to one in the silo 6 of dividing simultaneously.

As a possible realization mode, the linear guide rail pair comprises a linear guide rail and a slide block 7 arranged on the linear guide rail in a sliding mode, and the material distributing plate 5 is arranged on the slide block 7.

In the embodiment provided by the invention, in order to enhance the structural stability and simultaneously save the principle of part cost, the two sliding blocks 7 are arranged, and in order to ensure the movement synchronism of the two sliding blocks 7, the two sliding blocks 7 are connected through the connecting piece.

In an alternative, the driving unit includes a motor 8 and a linear transfer unit, and the motor 8 is disposed at one end of the linear guide. The motor 8 is in power connection with the linear transmission unit, the slide block 7 is arranged on the linear transmission unit, and the transmission direction of the linear transmission unit is consistent with the length extension direction of the linear guide rail.

As an example, the linear conveying unit comprises a conveying belt, the sliding blocks 7 are fixedly arranged on the conveying belt, and the motor 8 drives the conveying belt to move through a belt pulley to synchronously drive the sliding blocks 7 to move. During specific implementation, the number of the linear guide rails is two, the two linear guide rails are arranged in parallel with the conveyor belt, and the two linear guide rails are respectively arranged on two sides of the conveyor belt. A sliding groove is formed in the bottom of the sliding block 7 and corresponds to the linear guide rail, and when the conveying belt drives the sliding block 7 to move, the sliding groove of the sliding block 7 slides along the linear guide rail. Of course, a conveying method may be adopted in which the linear guide is omitted and the conveyor belt is used to move the slider 7. However, after the conveyor belt is used for a long time, the conveyor belt is easy to loosen, so that the groove bottom of the material distribution groove 6 and the slide way of the feeding track 2 are not on the same plane, and the phenomenon that the material distribution groove 6 cannot accurately receive the material to be distributed 4 occurs.

The structure, material and number of the support 9 are selected according to practical situations and are not limited in particular. In order to enhance the structural stability and provide stable supporting force for the device, and simultaneously avoid the interference of the support 9 with the sliding of the sliding block 7 along the moving linear guide rail, the embodiment of the invention is provided with two supports 9, and the two supports 9 are respectively arranged at two ends of the linear guide rail.

In a movement period, the output shaft of the servo motor drives the material distributing plate 5 to move by a distance equal to the distance between two adjacent material distributing grooves 6 when rotating. For example, when the distance between two adjacent distributing grooves 6 is 10cm, the motor 8 drives the distributing plate 5 to travel by 10cm in a movement period, so that after one distributing groove 6 receives the material to be distributed 4, the output shaft of the motor 8 rotates by one movement period to drive the distributing plate 5 to move, so that the next adjacent distributing groove 6 is communicated with the feeding track 2, that is, the distributing groove 6 is aligned with the feeding track 2, and the distributing groove 6 is convenient to receive the material to be distributed 4 which slides from the feeding track 2.
