Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention specifically relates to a three - layer full - automatic color sorter that is easy for multi - sorting and multi - selection and its sorting method. Background Art

[0002] The crawler - type color sorter is a device that relies on a fast horizontal conveyor to stably and uniformly throw the sorted materials. The camera captures the images of the materials at the position where the materials are thrown out and separated from the conveyor rollers, and then realizes the removal and separation of the materials, achieving the goal of sorting different varieties of materials by the machine. Currently, only single - layer crawler - type color sorters and double - layer crawler - type color sorters are available in the market, which can achieve one - time removal or two - time re - selection and removal of materials, and divide the raw materials into two categories or three categories.

[0003] To improve the diversity of sorted materials in the existing technology, multiple machines are connected online to achieve multiple sorting of a raw material. The materials are repeatedly connected in series for re - feeding to sort out multiple types of products. Such online connection occupies a large site area for customers, and also requires more lifting and re - selection and re - feeding equipment. The use cost is high, and the economic efficiency is low. Moreover, the multiple re - feeding and turnover times will also cause damage to the surface of the materials, and it is impossible to well meet the requirement of sorting out multiple types of products on a single device. Therefore, we propose a three - layer full - automatic color sorter that is easy for multi - sorting and multi - selection and its sorting method. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Preferably, the reflector is of an inclined structure, and there are two reflectors to respectively reflect the material into the upper-view camera and the lower-view camera.

[0013] Preferably, at both ends of one side wall of the transfer component A, there are good-product outlets A, and in the middle of one side wall, there is a defective-product outlet A. Inside the transfer component A, there is a partition plate to separate its internal space into a first blanking area and a second blanking area.

[0018] A sorting method for a three-layer full-automatic color sorter that is easy to perform multiple selections and multi-selections includes the following steps:

[0019] Step A: The feeding assembly vibrates and feeds the materials to flow onto the conveyor belt of the first layer. The conveyor belt of the first layer conveys the materials to the inside of the sorting assembly. The materials are illuminated by the lamp body. The upper-view camera and the lower-view camera identify different surfaces of the materials. After identifying the finished products DE and the defective products FG, the finished products DE and the defective products FG are blown and separated by the blowing nozzle.

[0020] Step B: The finished products DE and the defective products FG separated by the sorting assembly at the highest position fall into the inside of the transfer assembly A.

[0044] Among them, the sorting components 4 are evenly distributed in three places along the height direction of the frame 1, and every two adjacent sorting components 4 are staggered from each other, facilitating the better passage of materials through multiple sorting components 4 for sorting in sequence. Below the three sorting components 4 from high to low are respectively connected with a transfer component A5, a transfer component B7, and a transfer component C8 corresponding to them for separately discharging the finished product materials and defective product materials, facilitating the separation and discharging of the finished products and defective products during and after sorting.

[0052] Preferably, the feeding component 2 includes a feeding hopper 21, a feeding chamber 22, a first vibrator 23 and a bracket 24. The bracket 24 is fixed on the upper surface of the frame 1. The feeding hopper 21 for storing materials is arranged on the bracket 24. The feeding chamber 22 is opened on the feeding hopper 21, and the first vibrator 23 is arranged inside the feeding hopper 21, which is convenient for feeding small-volume materials through the feeding hopper 21 with a small opening on the upper surface.

[0053] A sorting method for a three-layer full-automatic color sorter that is easy for multi-sorting and multi-selection includes the following steps:
