The invention relates to a detection and sorting device for steel balls, which includes a frame, a feeding mechanism, an unfolding mechanism, a blocking mechanism, a detection mechanism, a sorting mechanism and a receiving mechanism; the feeding mechanism includes a storage box, a lower The hopper and the feeding pipe, the unfolding mechanism includes a feeding guide rail, the feeding guide rail is a V-shaped linear guide rail, and the feeding hopper is connected to the starting end of the feeding guide rail through the feeding pipe; the detection mechanism includes a light source assembly and a camera assembly, and the light source assembly cover is set On the conveying guide rail, the sorting mechanism and receiving mechanism are arranged at the end of the conveying guide rail, and the defective steel balls and qualified steel balls can be collected separately through the sorting mechanism and receiving mechanism. The detection and sorting device of the present invention can realize automatic feeding, detection and sorting of steel balls, and the detection process changes from the two-dimensional movement of the traditional unfolding plate to the one-dimensional pure rolling of steel balls on one side, with high detection efficiency and no false detection The detection rate and missed detection rate are low, and the steel ball will not be magnetized or the surface of the steel ball will be damaged during the detection process.
