Abstract

A supporting mechanism and a sorting machine having the same are provided. The supporting mechanism includes a supporting body. An annular sliding slot is formed on a section of surface of the supporting body. A U-shaped clamping slot is provided in a ring of the annular sliding slot. A one-way deflecting locating valve plate is provided at the position of an opening of the U-shaped clamping slot and configured to close the annular sliding slot, and the locating valve plate is provided with a reset force configured to ensure a tendency of the locating valve plate to close the annular sliding slot. A deflecting angle of the locating valve plate ensures that a free end of the locating valve plate deflects from one side to another side of the opening of the U-shaped clamping slot. The supporting mechanism has a simple operation and a high efficiency.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A supporting mechanism, configured to limit a position between a first component and a second component pivotally connected in an opening process, and comprising a supporting body, wherein the supporting body comprises a rotary end, and the rotary end is pivotally connected to the first component by a rotary shaft;
an annular sliding slot is formed on a section of surface, away from the rotary end, of the supporting body, the annular sliding slot provides a route guidance for a locating pin arranged on the second component, and a U-shaped clamping slot for hooking the locating pin is provided in a ring of the annular sliding slot;
a one-way deflecting locating valve plate is provided at the position of an opening of the U-shaped clamping slot in the annular sliding slot, the locating valve plate is arranged on the supporting body by a mounting rotary shaft and configured to close the annular sliding slot, and the locating valve plate is provided with a reset force configured to ensure a tendency of the locating valve plate to close the annular sliding slot; and
a deflecting angle of the locating valve plate ensures that a free end of the locating valve plate deflects from one side of the opening of the U-shaped clamping slot to another side of the opening of the U-shaped clamping slot, and the locating pin falls into the U-shaped clamping slot; wherein
a one-way deflecting guiding valve plate configured to close the annular sliding slot is provided in the annular sliding slot at an initial position of the locating pin, and the initial position of the locating pin is at one side of the guiding valve plate, to which side the guiding valve plate is allowed to deflect, the guiding valve plate is arranged on the supporting body by a second mounting rotary shaft and configured to close the annular sliding slot, the guiding valve plate is provided with a reset force configured to ensure a tendency of the guiding valve plate to close the annular sliding slot, and a one-way deflection direction of the guiding valve plate is opposite to a one-way deflection direction of the locating valve plate.

2. The supporting mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the locating valve plate is provided with the reset force by a first torsion spring.

3. The supporting mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the locating valve plate and the guiding valve plate are provided with the reset force by a first torsion spring and a second torsion spring, respectively.

4. The supporting mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein a torsion spring is provided between the supporting body and the first component, and the torsion spring provides a reset force for the supporting body.

5. A sorting machine, comprising an upper cover and a lower machine body pivotally connected, a supporting mechanism being mounted between the upper cover and the lower machine body, wherein the supporting mechanism comprises a supporting body, the supporting body comprises a rotary end, and the rotary end is pivotally connected to the lower machine body by a rotary shaft;
an annular sliding slot is formed on a section of surface, away from the rotary end, of the supporting body, the annular sliding slot provides a route guidance for the locating pin arranged on the upper cover, and a U-shaped clamping slot for hooking the locating pin is provided in a ring of the annular sliding slot;
a one-way deflecting locating valve plate is provided at the position of an opening of the U-shaped clamping slot in the annular sliding slot, the locating valve plate is arranged on the supporting body by a mounting rotary shaft and configured to close the annular sliding slot, and the locating valve plate is provided with a reset force configured to ensure a tendency of the locating valve plate to close the annular sliding slot; and
a deflecting angle of the locating valve plate ensures that a free end of the locating valve plate deflects from one side of opening of the U-shaped clamping slot to another side of the opening of the U-shaped clamping slot, and the locating pin falls into the U-shaped clamping slot; wherein
a one-way deflecting guiding valve plate configured to close the annular sliding slot is provided in the annular sliding slot at an initial position of the locating pin, and the initial position of the locating pin is at one side of the guiding valve plate, to which side the guiding valve plate is allowed to deflect, the guiding valve plate is arranged on the supporting body by a second mounting rotary shaft and configured to close the annular sliding slot, the guiding valve plate is provided with a reset force configured to ensure a tendency of the guiding valve plate to close the annular sliding slot, and a one-way deflection direction of the guiding valve plate is opposite to a one-way deflection direction of the locating valve plate.

6. The sorting machine according to claim 5 , wherein the locating valve plate is provided with the reset force by a first torsion spring.

7. The sorting machine according to claim 5 , wherein the locating valve plate and the guiding valve plate are provided with the reset force by a first torsion spring and a second torsion spring respectively.

8. The sorting machine according to claim 5 , wherein a torsion spring is provided between the supporting body and the lower machine body, and the torsion spring provides a reset force for the supporting body.
