When the second conveying mechanism 210 is a roller conveyor, the lifting conveying mechanism 710 includes: a frame 711, a belt conveying member, a drive motor 715, a lifting plate 716, and a second drive device.

A plurality of belt conveying components are arranged at intervals, the belt conveying components are arranged on the frame 711, and the belt conveying components are positioned between two adjacent rollers of the second conveying mechanism 210. Specifically, the belt conveying member includes: a driving pulley 714, a driven pulley 712, and a belt 713.

The plurality of driving pulleys 714 are connected to a same driving shaft, the driving shaft is provided on the frame 711 through a bearing and is rotatable about an axis extending in the left-right direction, and the plurality of driving pulleys 714 are rotatable simultaneously when the driving shaft is rotated.

The number of the driven pulleys 712 corresponds to the number of the driving pulleys 714, and a plurality of the driven pulleys 712 are connected to the same driven shaft which is provided on the frame 711 via a bearing and is rotatable about an axis extending in the left-right direction, and the plurality of the driven pulleys 712 are rotatable in synchronization when the driven shaft is rotated.

The piston rod of the second telescopic cylinder 717 is extended to lift the lifting plate 716, so that the lifting plate 716 is pushed up to lift the belt 713, the conveying plane of the lifting and conveying mechanism 710 is higher than the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 210, and the ceramic tile 500 is transferred from the second conveying mechanism 210 to the lifting and conveying mechanism 710.

Since the second conveying mechanism 210 conveys the tile 500 from left to right, the color sensor 800 is provided on the left side of all the lifting conveying mechanisms 710, and the color sensor 800 is provided above the second conveying mechanism 210. In this embodiment, the color patch sensor 800 is fixed to the support frame 810, and the support frame 810 is mounted on the second conveying mechanism 210, as shown in fig. 6.

For example, if the marking mark of the tile 500 is located at the middle position of the tile 500, the color patch sensor 800 is located above the middle position of the tile 500, and thus the marking mark is recognized.

For example, the second conveying mechanism 210 conveys two kinds of tiles 500, a marking mark is provided in the middle of the first kind of tiles 500, and a marking mark is provided in the quarter of the second kind of tiles 500. The color code sensor 800 provided on the second conveying mechanism 210 can recognize the marking mark at the middle position of the tile 500.

Then, when the first ceramic tile 500 passes under the color mark sensor 800, the color mark sensor 800 recognizes and generates a detection signal, and sends the detection signal to the controller, the controller generates a control command after receiving the detection signal, controls the second telescopic cylinder 717 of the lifting and conveying mechanism 710 to work, and drives the lifting plate 716 to move upwards through the piston rod of the second telescopic cylinder 717, at this moment, the first ceramic tile 500 is located above the belt 713, and the belt 713 lifts the first ceramic tile 500 up due to the effect of the lifting plate 716, and conveys the first ceramic tile towards the third conveying mechanism 220.

If second kind of ceramic tile 500 passes through color mark sensor 800's below, because marking off mark is not located second kind of ceramic tile 500's middle part position, color mark sensor 800 can not discern, consequently, the controller can't receive color mark sensor 800's detected signal, and then lifting conveying mechanism 710 can not move to impel second kind of ceramic tile 500 to continue to be carried to the right by second conveying mechanism 210.

Through the connection setting of color mark sensor 800 and controller, carry out automated control to lifting conveying mechanism 710, transfer to third conveying mechanism 220 from second conveying mechanism 210 to ceramic tile 500 that color mark sensor 800 discerned, accomplish ceramic tile 500's automatic sorting work.

The first photoelectric switch 900 is used to detect whether the tile 500 is moved into position, i.e. above the lifting and conveying mechanism 710.

The controller is electrically connected to the first photoelectric switch 900 and the lifting and conveying mechanism 710, respectively.

For another example, after the color scale sensor 800 identifies the first type of tile 500, the first type of tile 500 continues to move toward the lift conveyor 710. When the first photoelectric switch 900 detects the first type of tile 500, and at this time, the first type of tile 500 moves to the position above the lifting and conveying mechanism 710, the first photoelectric switch 900 generates a third detection signal and sends the third detection signal to the controller, the controller generates a third control signal after receiving the third detection signal and sends the third control signal to the lifting and conveying mechanism 710, and the lifting and conveying mechanism 710 is started, so that the lifting and conveying mechanism 710 transfers the first type of tile 500 to the third conveying mechanism 220.

Of course, if the first photoelectric switch 900 is not provided, the time taken for the tile 500 to move onto the lifting conveyor 710 from the time of being recognized by the color patch sensor 800 may be calculated according to the conveying speed of the second conveyor 210, so that the start time of the lifting conveyor 710 is set on the controller.

It should be noted that the control mode of the controller belongs to the prior art, and is not within the protection scope of the present invention, and the present invention is to protect the connection mode of the controller.

While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been illustrated and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the embodiments shown and described, but is capable of numerous equivalents and substitutions without departing from the spirit of the utility model as set forth in the claims appended hereto.
