[0038] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 The embodiment of the present application provides a sorting device 300 for sorting columnar targets, wherein there are multiple targets, and at least two targets have unequal diameters, and at least two targets have unequal lengths. Optionally, the targets in the present embodiment are bolts or studs, the bolts are round-head bolts, and the studs are double-head studs. The specifications of the bolts are M4*25, M4*30, M6*25, M6*30, M10*25, M10*30; the specifications of the studs are M8*30, M8*35, M8*50, M10*30, M10*35, M10*50. Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The sorting device 300 is provided with a sorting station 41 and a collection station 42 corresponding to the sorting station 41. The collection station 42 is used to collect target objects of a predetermined length, and at least two collection stations 42 are corresponding to the sorting station 41. Optionally, the lengths of the target objects collected by the two collection stations 42 are different, while the lengths of the target objects collected by the same collection station 42 are the same. The sorting device 300 includes a feeding structure 10, a vibrating structure and a diverting structure 30. The feeding structure 10 includes an adjusting component 11, and the adjusting component 11 includes two adjusting plates 12 arranged at an angle relative to each other. The two adjusting plates 12 together form a feeding trough 14. The sorting station 41 is arranged at one end of the feeding trough 14 adjacent to the feeding trough 14, and the trough width of the feeding trough 14 is gradually reduced from top to bottom. Optionally, the two adjustment plates 12 are deflected at a certain angle relative to the vertical direction, so that the cross-sectional shape of the feed trough 14 is set in a trapezoidal shape, and the long bottom side of the trapezoid is located above the short bottom side, so as to facilitate the target object to enter the feed trough 14. Optionally, the angle between the two adjustment plates 12 is 135 degrees. The bottom of the feed trough 14 has a filter port 13. When the maximum diameter of the target object is less than the width of the filter port 13, the filter port 13 allows the target object to pass through the filter port 13 and fall downward. When the maximum diameter of the target object is greater than the width of the filter port 13, the target object cannot pass through the filter port 13 and remains in the feed trough 14, thereby realizing the sorting of targets of different diameters. The vibration material structure is used to drive the adjustment plate 12 to vibrate, so that each target object located in the feed trough 14 vibrates together with the adjustment plate 12 and moves to the sorting station 41 in sequence; the vibration material structure is used to drive the adjustment plate 12 to vibrate, so that each target object vibrates together with the adjustment plate 12. Optionally, the vibrating material structure can be a vibration motor, which drives the two adjustment plates 12 to vibrate simultaneously, so that each target object rolls and moves in the feeding trough 14. It is understood that when multiple adjustment components 11 are provided, the vibrating material structure also drives each adjustment component 11 to vibrate together. It is understood that the target objects in the guide trough 18 are first sorted by diameter through the filter port 13, and then moved to the sorting station 41 for length sorting, that is, the diameters of the targets moved to the sorting station 41 are the same. The material shifting structure 30 is arranged at the sorting station 41, and includes a camera 31, a controller and a material shifting component 32 arranged adjacent to the camera 31. The camera 31 is used to shoot the length of the target object located at the sorting station 41 and transmit the length information of the target object to the controller. The controller controls the material shifting component 32 to shift the target object to the corresponding material collection station 42 according to the length information; optionally, the camera 31 transmits the captured image back to the NUC and determines the length of the target object through image algorithm analysis, and then transmits the length information of the target object to the controller. The controller controls the material shifting component 32 to shift the target object to the corresponding material collection station 42 according to the length information.Among them, there are multiple adjustment components 11, each adjustment component 11 is arranged in sequence along the vertical direction, the width of each filter material port 13 is arranged to decrease from top to bottom, and any feed trough 14 receives the target object from the filter material port 13 located above and adjacent to it, and one end of each feed trough 14 is correspondingly provided with a sorting station 41, and each sorting station 41 is correspondingly provided with a material-diverting structure 30. Under the control of the corresponding controller, each material-diverting structure 30 respectively sorts the target object located at the corresponding sorting station 41. By setting multiple adjustment components 11 and material-diverting structures 30, targets of different diameters and lengths can be sorted continuously.

The targets in the same feeding trough 14 move to the corresponding sorting station 41 along the corresponding guide trough 18 in sequence, and the camera 31 shoots the targets at the sorting station 41 and analyzes and determines the length of the targets, and then sends the length information to the controller, and the controller controls the material shifting component 32 according to the length information, so that the material shifting component 32 shifts the targets at the sorting station 41 to the corresponding collection station 42, and finally achieves the sorting of targets of different lengths and diameters.

[0040] It is understandable that the number of adjustment components 11 is set by analyzing the types of diameters of the targets. The adjustment component 11 at the top sorts out the targets with the largest diameter, and each adjustment component 11 sorts targets with different diameters by different diameters, so that the diameters of the targets moved to the same sorting station 41 are the same.

By providing the through hole 327, it is convenient to connect the relay and the electromagnetic catapult with a wire. Optionally, when the target object rotates to the corresponding material collection station 42, the relay controls the operation of the electromagnetic catapult, so that the push rod of the electromagnetic catapult applies a momentary force to the target object, thereby ejecting the target object to the corresponding material collection station 42.

[0062] In one embodiment, the material shifting assembly 32 further includes a transmission shaft 325 connected to the rotating material disc 321 and a synchronous belt 326 connecting the transmission shaft 325 and the material transfer driver 323. The synchronous belt 326 allows the material transfer driver 323 to smoothly drive the transmission shaft 325 to rotate, thereby allowing the rotating material disc 321 to smoothly rotate.

[0063] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
