Multistage arrangement conveyor 2 includes second climbing transfer chain 21, a plurality of front and back plane arrangement transfer chain 22 of end to end, and wherein the front end of second climbing transfer chain 21 links up with two blanking fill 125 of unusual specification screening device 1, and the rear end links up with the front end of first plane arrangement transfer chain 22. The second climbing conveyor line 21 functions in the same way as the first climbing conveyor line 11 and is also a preferably roller conveyor. The plurality of plane finishing conveying lines 22 are arranged in a front-back sequence, the heights of the plane finishing conveying lines are gradually reduced, the conveying speed is gradually increased, and the height of the rear end of the second climbing conveying line 21 is higher than that of the first plane finishing conveying line 22. The waste plastic bottles conveyed by the second climbing conveying line 21 are all horizontal, when the waste plastic bottles drop on the first plane arrangement conveying line 22, due to height drop, the waste plastic bottles can jump, under the state that the plane arrangement conveying line 22 starts to operate, the waste plastic bottles can rotate by a certain angle, after dropping for many times, the waste plastic bottles can be adjusted to the front and back directions through rotation, and through differential adjustment of the plane arrangement conveying lines 22, the waste plastic bottles are arranged into ordered queues at certain intervals.

The plane finishing conveying line 22 is preferably a belt conveyor, the left side and the right side of the plane finishing conveying line are provided with guard rails 221, the middle of the plane finishing conveying line 22 is provided with at least one partition fence 222, and the guard rails 221 and the partition fences 222 divide the conveying surface of the plane finishing conveying line 22 into a plurality of finishing conveying channels 22-1 which are arranged side by side. In this embodiment, the number of the division columns 222 is one, and the specific number is determined according to the size of the waste plastic bottles and the width of the flat finishing line 22.

When the waste plastic bottles drop from the second climbing conveyor line 21 to the first plane sorting conveyor line 22, the transverse waste plastic bottles can jump and the bottle caps or the bottle bottoms of the waste plastic bottles collide with the partition fence 222 or the protective fence 221, the plane sorting conveyor line 22 which is operated is started in a matched mode, the waste plastic bottles can rotate, the lighter waste plastic bottles can be basically adjusted to be in the front-back direction from the transverse direction, the heavier waste plastic bottles or waste plastic bottles still containing liquid can be adjusted to be in the oblique direction from the transverse direction, and the oblique waste plastic bottles can be finally adjusted to be in the front-back direction after being adjusted by the plane sorting conveyor line 22 for multiple times.

The waste plastic bottles in the last flat finishing conveyor line 22 are all arranged in a front-back direction and in a row at certain intervals, so that the width of the partition column 222 of the last flat finishing conveyor line is kept constant from back to front, i.e. the width of the flat finishing conveyor path 22-1 is uniform. The widths of the remaining partition columns 222 of the plane finishing conveying lines 22 are gradually reduced from back to front, when the waste plastic bottles fall from the rear end of the previous plane finishing conveying line 22 to the front end of the next plane finishing conveying line 22, the waste plastic bottles collide with the partition columns 222 or the guard rails 221 and continue to be conveyed forwards after rotating for a certain angle, and at the moment, the contact between the bottle caps or the bottle bottoms and the partition columns 222 is gradually changed into separation, so that resistance cannot be generated on the conveying of the waste plastic bottles, and the forward moving speed of the waste plastic bottles is reduced.

When the waste plastic bottles fall on the plane sorting conveying line 22, if the waste plastic bottles just fall on the partition column 222, the waste plastic bottles can jump and finally jump to the sorting conveying channel 22-1, but the waste plastic bottles and the waste plastic bottles falling later can be in the same row due to the hysteresis phenomenon caused by the fact that the waste plastic bottles do not fall on the sorting conveying channel 22-1 in the first time, so that except the last plane sorting conveying line 22, the width of the partition column 222 of the first to last plane sorting conveying line 22 is not smaller than the width of the two waste plastic bottles in parallel, and the two waste plastic bottles in parallel are prevented from being clamped when the situation occurs. Since the waste plastic bottles dropped onto the last flat finishing line 22 have already been finished, the width of the division bar 222 of the first to the last flat finishing line 22 is larger than the width of the division bar 222 of the last flat conveyor, so that the finishing conveying path 22-1 of the last flat conveyor line is narrower.

In order to enable the waste plastic bottles to fall on the tidying conveying channel 22-1 as soon as possible after the collision with the partition fence 222 and the guard rail 221, the left side and the right side of the partition fence 222 and the inner side of the guard rail 221 are provided with slope surfaces 22-A, the bottom edge of the slope surface 22-A extends to the tidying conveying channel 22-1, the waste plastic bottles can slide along the slope surfaces 22-A quickly after the collision with the partition fence 222 and the guard rail 221, and therefore conveying lag time is reduced.

In addition, the division column 222 of the first to the last plane arrangement conveying line 22 extends from the front end of the plane arrangement conveying line 22 to the middle rear part, and the length of the division column 222 is long enough to adjust the direction of the waste plastic bottles and reduce the length to reduce the self weight. The partition column 222 of the last flat finishing conveyor line 22 extends from the front end to the rear end of the flat finishing conveyor line 22, and cooperates with the narrower finishing conveyor passage 22-1 of the last flat finishing conveyor line 22 to maintain the position of the waste plastic bottles.

And the left side and the right side of the rear end of the final plane tidying conveying line 22-1 of the plane tidying conveying line are provided with slope plates 223, the bottom edges of the slope plates 223 extend to the tidying conveying line 22-1, and the width between the bottom edges of the two slope plates 223 is smaller than the width of the conveying line and is not smaller than the width of a single waste plastic bottle.

If two waste plastic bottles falling from the penultimate plane sorting conveying line 22 are connected end to end or are not positioned in the center, when the waste plastic bottles fall onto the last plane sorting conveying line 22, the waste plastic bottles collide with the slope plate 223, so that the first waste plastic bottles fall onto the sorting conveying channel 22-1 firstly, the first sorting conveying channel 22-1 is driven to convey backwards due to the acceleration of the conveying speed of the sorting conveying channel 22-1, and at the moment, the second sorting conveying channel 22-1 is still in the penultimate plane sorting conveying line 22 or in the falling process, so that the two waste plastic bottles connected end to end are separated.

Even if the waste plastic bottles are not in the center position before falling, when they fall on one of the slope plates 223, they will slide down the slope plate 223, and since the width between the two slope plates 223 is smaller than the width of the conveying passage, the waste plastic bottles are finally adjusted to the center position of the tidying conveying passage 22-1. Therefore, after passing through the multi-stage sorting and conveying device 2, the waste plastic bottles can be adjusted to be ordered queues at a certain interval from front to back and kept at the center of the conveying channel, so that the subsequent recognition and classification device 3 can accurately recognize and classify the waste plastic bottles.

In addition, the front side of the slope plate 223 is a bevel edge, so that the front length and the back length of the slope plate 223 are gradually reduced from top to bottom, only the middle rear part of the waste plastic bottle can be in contact with the slope plate 223 when the waste plastic bottle falls on the slope plate 223, the front end of the waste plastic bottle is suspended, the front end of the waste plastic bottle can be in contact with the arranging conveying channel 22-1 at the first time when the waste plastic bottle falls off along the slope plate 223 and is driven to convey forwards, the waste plastic bottle can be quickly separated from the two slope plates 223, conveying hysteresis can be reduced, and rear end collision of the waste plastic bottle behind is avoided.

In the embodiment, two left and right rows are arranged, three plane finishing conveying lines in each row are respectively recorded as a first-level plane finishing conveying line, a second-level plane finishing conveying line and a third-level plane finishing conveying line, the height difference between each two levels is about 10cm, and the speed difference is about 0.2 m/s. The number of the plane finishing conveying lines is determined according to the actual application requirements, and is not limited to three in the embodiment.
