[0022] The present invention will be further described and illustrated below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings:

[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-3 An automatic feeding and sorting device includes:

[0024] The conveying assembly 10 is used to convey areca nuts. One end of the conveying assembly 10 is connected to the feeding port, and the other end of the conveying assembly 10 is connected to the qualified product discharge port.

[0025] CCD camera 20 is used to take pictures of the areca nuts fed into the conveyor assembly;

[0026] The processor is used to receive the image capture signal from the CCD camera 20, process the image capture signal and output the status data of the areca nuts, and classify the areca nuts accordingly.

[0027] Several material distribution components 30 are set in the middle of the conveying component to collect areca nuts in different states;

[0028] Several air blowing components 40 are respectively set to correspond to the material dispensing components 30, and are used to receive signals from the processor to blow the areca nuts in the corresponding state on the conveying components to the corresponding material dispensing components 30.

[0029] Areca nuts enter the conveying assembly 10 through the feeding port. During the conveying process, the CCD camera 20 takes pictures of the areca nuts passing below it. The picture information from the CCD camera 20 is transmitted to the processor. After processing the data, the processor outputs the corresponding status data of the areca nuts and classifies them. The areca nuts are then conveyed by the conveying assembly 10 to different sorting assemblies 30. The air blowing assembly 40 blows the areca nuts of different categories to the corresponding sorting assemblies 30 according to the signal given by the processor, thereby completing the automatic classification of areca nuts and effectively improving production efficiency.

[0030] The automatic feeding and sorting device also includes photoelectric sensors for detecting the feeding and discharging of areca nuts. The photoelectric sensors detect the position of the areca nuts on the conveyor assembly 10, improving the overall coordination of the equipment.

[0031] The conveying assembly 10 includes a first conveying assembly 11 and a second conveying assembly 12. The first conveying assembly 11 includes a first conveyor belt, and the second conveying assembly 12 includes a second conveyor belt. The first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt are connected on one side and at a right angle.

[0032] Areca nuts are long and narrow. Ordinary conveyor belts can easily cause areca nuts to change direction during transport, affecting the CCD camera 20's ability to take pictures. The first and second conveyor belts are at right angles. The areca nuts are positioned by the first and second conveyor belts, keeping their direction unchanged during transport. This is beneficial for the CCD camera 20 to take pictures, improves the picture quality, reduces the processor's difficulty in processing data, and improves the judgment of the areca nut's state.

[0033] The first conveying assembly 11 also includes a first stepper motor, a first driving wheel, and a first driven wheel. The output shaft of the first stepper motor is connected to the first driving wheel, and a first conveyor belt is sleeved between the first driving wheel and the first driven wheel.

[0034] The first stepper motor drives the first drive wheel to rotate, and the first drive wheel then drives the first conveyor belt to rotate.

[0035] The second conveying assembly 12 also includes a second stepper motor, a second driving wheel, and a second driven wheel. The output shaft of the second stepper motor is connected to the second driving wheel, and a second conveyor belt is sleeved between the second driving wheel and the second driven wheel.

[0036] The second stepper motor drives the second drive wheel to rotate, and the second drive wheel in turn drives the second conveyor belt to rotate.

[0037] The first conveying assembly 11 also includes a first angle adjusting wheel 111, a second angle adjusting wheel 113, a first pressing wheel 112, and a second pressing wheel 114. The first angle adjusting wheel 111 and the second angle adjusting wheel 113 are respectively disposed on both sides of the material distribution assembly 30. The first angle adjusting wheel 111 and the second angle adjusting wheel 113 are respectively used to press down on the side edge of the first conveyor belt. The first pressing wheel 112 cooperates with the first angle adjusting wheel 111 to deviate the side edge of the first conveyor belt from the first driving wheel and the first driven wheel by a preset angle. The second pressing wheel 114 cooperates with the second angle adjusting wheel 113 to deviate the side edge of the first conveyor belt from the first driving wheel and the first driven wheel by a preset angle, so that the first conveyor belt has a V-shaped structure at the position of the material distribution assembly 30.

[0038] The first angle adjusting wheel, the second angle adjusting wheel, the first pressing wheel 112, and the second pressing wheel 114 flatten the first conveyor belt at the position of the material distribution component 30, which is beneficial for the air blowing component 40 to blow the areca nuts toward the corresponding material distribution component 30.

[0039] The material distribution component 30 includes a defective product hopper 31, a hollow hopper 32, and a non-hollow hopper 33, which are used to collect areca nuts in a defective state, hollow areca nuts, and non-hollow areca nuts, respectively.

[0040] Based on the different classifications of areca nuts, areca nuts in a defective state, areca nuts in a hollow state, and areca nuts in a non-hollow state are collected in the defective product hopper 31, the hollow product hopper 32, and the non-hollow product hopper 33.

[0041] The blowing assembly 40 includes an air pump and an air nozzle. The air pump operates to blow airflow from the air nozzle, blowing the areca nuts in the corresponding state on the conveying assembly toward the corresponding dispensing assembly 30.

[0042] Based on the processor signal, the air pump blows areca nuts in different states toward the corresponding dispensing components 30.

[0043] In the above scheme, the areca nuts are cut and placed at the feeding port of the conveying component 10. The conveying component 10 moves the areca nuts. When the areca nuts move to the area below the CCD camera 20, the CCD camera 20 takes a picture of the areca nuts and transmits the picture information to the processor. The processor processes the data and outputs the status of the areca nuts. If the status of the areca nuts is qualified, they are conveyed to the discharge port through the conveying component 10. If the status of the areca nuts is unqualified, they are blown to the corresponding sorting component 30 by the blowing component 40 according to their current status, thus completing the sorting, classification and transportation of the areca nuts. Through mechanized operation, production efficiency and quality can be effectively improved, and labor costs can be effectively reduced.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model.
