The casing 100 is a casing for wrapping and enclosing the device, and is a base body for installing and connecting some parts on the device, and the casing 100 plays a certain role in supporting and limiting. The screw rod 200 is rotationally connected with the shell 100, and the screw rod 200 can rotate relative to the shell 100; the screw rod 200 is provided with external threads, at least one of the mounting platforms is provided with internal threads matched with the external threads, and the screw rod 200 is in threaded connection with the mounting platforms; by using the principle of the screw-nut mechanism, the mounting platform (corresponding to a nut) screwed with the screw 200 can be displaced by rotating the screw 200, so that the first mounting platform 310 and the second mounting platform 510 are relatively close to or far away from each other. The mounting platforms are platforms for mounting a plurality of parts (it should be understood that in the present invention, the platforms are conceptual words rather than words describing shapes, so that in the present invention, the mounting platforms are not necessarily flat or table-block-shaped), at least one of the mounting platforms is in threaded connection with the lead screw 200, while the other mounting platform is fixedly connected with the housing 100, or in threaded connection with the lead screw 200, or is movably connected with the lead screw 200 (the lead screw 200 can rotate relative to the mounting platform, but is provided with a limit structure, so that the mounting platform cannot slide along the lead screw 200 in some cases, and the limit of the limit structure is released, so that the mounting platform can slide along the lead screw 200 in other cases, after the position of the mounting platform is adjusted, the limit of the limit structure is reopened, and the limit structures such as clips are fixedly connected with the mounting platforms, the screw rod 200 or the shell 100 is clamped when the limit is required, and the clamp is loosened when the limit is released). The roller separator assembly is a structure commonly found in the existing cup discharging machine, such as the screw member in patent CN201458363U, and the principle of the multiple roller separator assemblies working together to separate the stacked members 1000 to be separated can also be referred to the existing cup discharging machine, and therefore, the detailed description thereof is omitted here. It should be understood that the phrase "mounting platform is disposed adjacent to one side of the housing 100" merely indicates the relative position of the mounting platforms to the housing 100, and does not indicate that the mounting platforms must be mounted to the housing 100. It should be understood that only one screw rod 200 may be provided, and is in threaded connection with one end of the mounting platform, while the other end of the mounting platform may be in sliding connection with the sliding rod; the screw rod 200 may be provided in two or more, and both ends of the mounting platform are threadedly connected to the screw rod 200. It should be understood that the roller separator assemblies are typically provided in plurality, such as the first roller separator assembly 400 provided in one, the second roller separator assembly 600 provided in two, and such as the first roller separator assembly 400 and the second roller separator assembly 600 provided in two.

The first roller separator assembly 400 is disposed on the first mounting platform 310 of the first roller module 300, the second roller separator assembly 600 is disposed on the second mounting platform 510 of the second roller module 500, the lead screw 200 is rotatably coupled with the housing 100, and the lead screw 200 is screw-coupled with at least one of the first mounting platform 310 and the second mounting platform 510, using the principle of a lead screw-nut mechanism, when the lead screw 200 is rotated, the first mounting platform 310 (and/or the second mounting platform 510) coupled to the lead screw 200 may be driven to displace, thereby adjusting the distance between the first and second mounting platforms 310 and 510, and then the distance between the first roller separator assembly 400 and the second roller separator assembly 600 mounted on the corresponding mounting platforms is adjusted, so that the separator can be suitable for separating the pieces 1000 to be separated with different calibers. It should be understood that when the lead screw 200 is only threadedly coupled to the first mounting platform 310 or the second mounting platform 510, the threads thereon are not limited; when the lead screw 200 is screwed with the first mounting platform 310 and the second mounting platform 510, the first external thread 210 (corresponding to the first internal thread 311) and the second external thread 220 (corresponding to the second internal thread 511) on the lead screw 200 have opposite rotation directions; when the first external thread 210 and the second external thread 220 have the same direction, the leads (or the pitches of the single-thread) of the two external threads are different.

Referring to fig. 2 and 3, in some embodiments of the present invention, a first external thread 210 is provided on a sidewall of the lead screw 200 near one end of the lead screw 200, a second external thread 220 is provided on a sidewall of the lead screw 200 near the other end of the lead screw 200, a direction of the first external thread 210 is opposite to a direction of the second external thread 220, a first internal thread 311 adapted to the first external thread 210 is provided on the first mounting platform 310, a second internal thread 511 adapted to the second external thread 220 is provided on the second mounting platform 510, the first mounting platform 310 is in threaded connection with the lead screw 200, and the second mounting platform 510 is in threaded connection with the lead screw 200.

The first mounting platform 310 and the second mounting platform 510 are both in threaded connection with the screw rod 200, and the thread turning directions are opposite, so that when the screw rod 200 is rotated, the first mounting platform 310 and the second mounting platform 510 can be relatively close to or far away from each other at the same time, the two mounting platforms can generate displacement, and the adjusting efficiency is higher. It should be understood that "adapted" means that the internal thread and the external thread can be normally screwed together. It should be understood that, since the two ends of the screw rod 200 are provided with the external threads and the rotation directions thereof are opposite, the assembly of the screw rod 200 and the mounting platform requires special structures, such as the first recess 312 and the first fixing member 320 provided in the present embodiment; for example, the screw rod 200 may be provided as two sections of shafts, and after the two sections of shafts are respectively connected with the mounting platform by threads, the two sections of shafts are fixedly connected by a structure such as a coupler (or the two sections of shafts are directly welded, bonded, and hot-melted), so as to form the screw rod 200. It should be understood that the internal threads on the mounting platform may be only a portion of a full internal thread, such as an internal thread provided on the recess, or the internal threads may be a full thread provided in a threaded bore, and the assembly may be performed in the two-piece shaft manner described above.

The concave part is approximately in a semi-cylindrical shape or a incomplete cylindrical shape and is matched with the screw rod 200, and the fixing part is also provided with a concave structure which is used for being abutted against the screw rod 200 and limiting the screw rod 200. It is to be understood that the "recess" described in the present invention does not refer to a space (virtual configuration) formed by the recess, but refers to a structure (solid structure) formed by a face of the recess. The fixing member may be a massive member, such as the fixing member of the present embodiment, and further such as a member having a threaded hole is split along the axis of the threaded hole into two halves, one half being the mounting platform and one half being the fixing member, and the threads on the fixing member may be retained or eliminated; or may be a small strip, referred to as a pipe clamp. Due to the assembly problem, the first concave part 312, the first fixing part 320, the second concave part 512 and the second fixing part 520 are arranged, when the assembly is carried out, the screw rod 200 is firstly placed into the first concave part 312 and the second concave part 512, the position of the mounting platform is adjusted, so that the external thread on the screw rod 200 is matched with the internal thread on the concave part, then the first fixing part 320 and the second fixing part 520 are mounted, the screw rod 200 is limited in the first concave part 312 and the second concave part 512, and the external thread on the screw rod 200 is always matched with the internal thread on the concave part. Through the arrangement, the screw rod 200 and the mounting platform are simple and convenient to assemble.

And two lead screws 200 are driven by the same driving source through the width adjusting transmission assembly 730, so that the production cost is saved, the width adjusting operation process is simple and convenient, and the operation of workers is facilitated. It should be understood that the driving source may be a driving element with power, such as the width-adjusting motor 720, or the driving source may be an access port or an operation port for external power, such as the width-adjusting knob 710. It should be understood that the driving source drives the two lead screws 200 to rotate synchronously, that is, when the driving source drives the two lead screws 200 to rotate simultaneously, the first mounting platform 310 can move in the same direction by the same distance; generally, the thread pitches on the two lead screws 200 are the same, and when the driving source drives, the rotating speeds of the two lead screws 200 are the same. It should be understood that two screws 200 may also be simultaneously inserted through one end of the second mounting platform 510 and the other end of the second mounting platform 510.
