After entering the sorting mechanism, the products move along the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 12, and when the products move to the positions of the sorting pieces 13 corresponding to the types of the products, the sorting pieces 13 sort the products and cache the products in the cache grooves 211 of the cache assembly 2. Each buffer memory component 2 is arranged corresponding to the subsequent station of the product, and when the subsequent station works normally, the product enters the subsequent station from the buffer memory groove 211 to ensure the normal work of the production line. When a subsequent station corresponding to a certain product is stopped, the product is temporarily stored in the buffer tank 211, and when the subsequent station works normally, the product is sent to the subsequent station.

This letter sorting mechanism can the buffer memory product to when guaranteeing that the sequent station is shut down, can not influence the production of other kind products, greatly improved the production efficiency and the fault-tolerant rate of production line.

Optionally, the sorting assembly 1 further comprises a type detector 15, the type detector 15 being arranged at the frame 11 and at the front end of the first conveyor belt 12, the type detector 15 being able to detect the type of product. When the product passes through the detection area of the type detection piece 15, the type detection piece 15 can distinguish the type of the product, calculate the time for the product to reach the sorting piece 13 according to the transmission speed of the first transmission belt 12 and the distance between the sorting piece 13 corresponding to the type and the type detection piece 15, and control the sorting piece 13 to sort the product.

Specifically, the type detector 15 is a camera that can determine the type of the product by the shape or contour of the product.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 2, the sorting member 13 is rotatably disposed on the frame 11, and the sorting member 13 has a guide surface 131, and when the sorting member 13 is rotated above the first conveyor belt 12, the product abuts against the guide surface 131 and enters the buffer slot 211.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the guide surface 131 is inclined toward the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 12 in a direction approaching the buffer assembly 2. When the product abuts against the guide surface 131, the first conveyor belt 12 does not stop moving, so that the product is driven by the guide surface 131 to gradually move towards the buffer assembly 2, finally, the product is separated from the first conveyor belt 12 and falls into the buffer groove 211 of the buffer assembly 2 for buffering.

In order to enable the product to abut against the guide surface 131 during transportation, the product is located on a side of the first conveyer belt 12 close to the buffer member 21, or a guide range of the guide surface 131 is larger than a width of the first conveyer belt 12.

It will be appreciated that, in order to enable the rotation of the singulator 13 for the sorting of the products, the assembly 1 further comprises a plurality of drive members 14, the drive members 14 corresponding one-to-one to the singulator 13, the drive members 14 being able to drive the rotation of the singulator 13.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, the driver 14 is a rotary cylinder. Sorting piece 13 and revolving cylinder's pivot fixed connection, operating personnel can inflate through revolving cylinder and drive sorting piece 13 and rotate, and can change the rotation direction that aerifys to change sorting piece 13 to make sorting piece 13 can sort the product and make the product switch between through two kinds of positions.

It can be understood that the distance between the sorting assembly 1 and the buffer assembly 2 is set according to actual conditions, and if the distance between the sorting assembly 1 and the buffer assembly 2 is too large, the sorted product cannot fall into the buffer slot 211. As shown in fig. 1, to solve this problem, a transfer assembly 3 is provided between the sorted pieces 13 and the corresponding buffer assembly 2, and the transfer assembly 3 can transfer the products sorted by the sorted pieces 13 to the buffer slot 211.

Specifically, the conveying assembly 3 includes a second conveying belt 31, one end of the second conveying belt 31 is close to the first conveying belt 12, the other end is close to the buffer assembly 2, and the sorted products fall onto the second conveying belt 31 under the driving of the guide surface 131 and enter the buffer slot 211 under the conveying of the second conveying belt 31.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 3, the buffer assembly 2 includes a buffer member 21 and a third conveyor belt 22, the buffer member 21 defines a buffer slot 211, the buffer member 21 defines a conveying channel 212, one end of the third conveyor belt 22 is disposed at the bottom of the buffer slot 211, and the other end extends to the conveying channel 212. Products enter the buffer groove 211 and then are buffered, when products in the buffer groove 211 are needed by subsequent stations, the third conveying belt 22 is driven to rotate, and the products sequentially enter the conveying channel 212 under the conveying of the third conveying belt 22.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, a through groove is formed at the top of buffer member 21, and two ends of the through groove are respectively opened at the inner wall of buffer groove 211 and the outer wall of buffer member 21, and the through groove is transport channel 212. To ensure that the products are delivered sequentially, the width of the delivery channel 212 is slightly greater than the width of the products.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 3, the transmission passage 212 includes an equal width section 2121 and a wider section 2122 which are communicated with each other, the equal width section 2121 is opened on the outer wall of the buffer member 21, the wider section 2122 is opened on the inner wall of the buffer groove 211, and the width of the wider section 2122 is gradually reduced in a direction away from the buffer groove 211. The widening section 2122 has a guiding function, and the product enters the widening section 2122 of the conveying passage 212 under the transmission of the third conveyor belt 22, enters the equal-width section 2121 under the guiding of the inner wall of the widening section 2122, passes through the equal-width section 2121, and then enters the subsequent station.

Preferably, as shown in fig. 3, the third conveyor belt 22 is provided with a plurality of lifting plates 23 at intervals in the conveying direction. It can be understood that, when the products are conveyed by the third conveyor belt 22 and rise from the bottom of the buffer storage groove 211 to the height of the conveying channel 212, especially when the conveying channel 212 is a through groove at the top of the buffer storage member 21, the height difference is large, and the lifting plate 23 can prevent the products from sliding off, thereby improving the efficiency.
