[0022] The present invention will be further described and illustrated below in conjunction with specific embodiments and accompanying drawings:

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1-Figure 3 , an automatic feeding and sorting device, comprising:

[0024] The conveying assembly 10 is used to convey the betel nut, one end of the conveying assembly 10 is connected to the loading port, and the other end of the conveying assembly 10 is connected to the qualified product discharge port;

[0025] CCD camera 20, used to take pictures of the betel nut fed into the conveying assembly;

[0026] A processor, used for receiving a photographing signal from the CCD camera 20, and outputting the state data of the betel nut after processing the photographing signal, and classifying the betel nut accordingly;

[0027] A plurality of material dividing assemblies 30 are arranged in the middle of the conveying assembly and are used to collect betel nuts in different states;

[0028] A plurality of blowing components 40 are respectively arranged corresponding to the material distribution components 30, and are used to receive the signal of the processor to blow the betel nut in the corresponding state on the transmission component to the corresponding material distribution component 30.

[0029] Betel nut fruits enter the conveying component 10 through the feeding port. When the conveying component 10 conveys the betel nut fruits, the CCD camera 20 takes pictures of the betel nut fruits passing thereunder. The picture information of the CCD camera 20 is transmitted to the processor. After processing the data, the processor outputs the status data corresponding to the betel nut fruits and classifies them. The betel nut fruits are conveyed to different material dividing components 30 through the conveying component 10. The blowing component 40 blows the differently classified betel nut fruits to the corresponding material dividing components 30 according to the signal given by the processor, thereby completing the automatic classification of the betel nut fruits and effectively improving the production efficiency.

[0030] The automatic feeding and sorting device also includes a photoelectric sensor for detecting the feeding and discharging of betel nuts. The photoelectric sensor is used to detect the position of betel nuts on the conveying assembly 10 to improve the overall coordination ability of the device.

[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 conveying belt, and the second conveying assembly 12 includes a second conveying belt. The first conveying belt and the second conveying belt are connected at one side and form a right angle.

[0032] Betel nut is in the shape of long strips. Ordinary conveyor belts can easily cause the betel nut to change direction during the conveyance process, which affects the photography of the CCD camera 20. The first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt are at right angles. The betel nut is positioned by the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt, so that the betel nut maintains the same direction during the conveyance process, which is beneficial to the photography of the CCD camera 20 and improves the photography quality, thereby reducing the difficulty of the processor in processing data and improving the judgment of the state of the betel nut.

[0033] The first conveying assembly 11 further 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. A first conveying belt is sleeved between the first driving wheel and the first driven wheel.

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

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

[0036] The second stepping motor drives the second driving wheel to rotate, and the second driving wheel drives the second conveyor belt to rotate.

[0037] The first conveying component 11 also includes a first angle adjustment wheel 111, a second angle adjustment wheel 113, a first clamping wheel 112 and a second clamping wheel 114. The first angle adjustment wheel 111 and the second angle adjustment wheel 113 are respectively arranged on both sides of the material dividing component 30. The first angle adjustment wheel 111 and the second angle adjustment wheel 113 are respectively used to press the side edge of the first conveyor belt. The first adjustment wheel cooperates with the first angle adjustment 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 adjustment wheel cooperates with the second angle adjustment 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 dividing component 30.

[0038] The first angle adjustment wheel, the second angle adjustment wheel, the first pressing wheel 112 and the second pressing wheel 114 flatten the first conveyor belt at the position of the material dividing assembly 30 , which is beneficial for the blowing assembly 40 to blow the betel nut to the corresponding material dividing assembly 30 .

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

[0040] According to the different classifications of betel nut fruits, the defective betel nut fruits, the hollow betel nut fruits and the non-hollow betel nut fruits are classified and collected in the defective product hopper 31, the hollow hopper 32 and the non-hollow hopper 33.

[0041] The blowing component 40 includes an air pump and an air nozzle. When the air pump is working, air is ejected from the air nozzle to blow the betel nut in a corresponding state on the conveying component to the corresponding material dividing component 30.

[0042] The air pump blows the betel nuts in different states to the corresponding material distribution components 30 according to the processor signal.

[0043] In the above scheme, the betel nut is cut in the middle and placed at the loading port of the conveying component 10. The conveying component 10 drives the betel nut to move. When the betel nut moves below the CCD camera 20, the CCD camera 20 takes a picture of the betel nut and transmits the picture information to the processor. The processor processes the data and outputs the state of the betel nut. If the state of the betel nut is qualified, it is conveyed to the discharge port through the conveying component 10. If the state of the betel nut is unqualified, when it is in the corresponding position of the dividing component 30 according to the state at this time, the betel nut is blown to the corresponding dividing component 30 by the blowing component 40 for collection, thereby completing the screening, classification and transportation of the betel nut. Through mechanized operations, the production efficiency and production quality can be effectively improved, and the labor cost can be effectively reduced.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, rather than to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the essence and scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
