The plurality of bottom sorting holes 302 correspond to the cylinders of different colors connected to the collection cylinder rack assembly 4. When the color recognition is completed, the color sorting member 803 can send an electrical signal, which can be converted into a control signal of the first driving member 303 to specify the rotation angle, and control the first driving member 303 to drive the connecting rod 304 and the control member 305 to rotate the specified angle, so that the control member 305 rotates to the bottom sorting hole 302 at the specified position, and the control member 305 is turned on, and the internal buttons can be guided to the inside of the cylinder of the collection cylinder rack assembly 4 of the corresponding color at the bottom, completing the button color sorting and collection, and then the first driving member 303 drives the connecting rod 304 and the control member 305 to reset to the initial state;

[0042] In the present application, the first driving member 303 is not limited to an electric axle seat, and can also be driven by a linear motor, an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, etc., as long as the rotation adjustment of the connecting rod 304 can be achieved, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0045] When the control member 305 is turned on, the buttons in the corresponding bottom sorting holes 302 fall into the collecting barrel 404 at the corresponding position. When the collecting barrel 404 completes the collection, it can be taken out from the elastic member 403 and replaced with an empty collecting barrel 404 to continue collecting.

[0046] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: a plurality of groups of fourth driving members 705 are equidistantly arranged from top to bottom on the outside of the third driving member 704, buttons are stored inside the feeding barrel 702, and a button arranging feeder is installed at the bottom of the feeding barrel 702, so that the buttons in the feeding barrel 702 can be individually guided out in a timed and directional manner; the surfaces of the fourth driving member 705, the top plate 706, the first linkage rod 707 and the second linkage rod 708 are all coated with flocking material, so that the fourth driving member 705, the top plate 706, the first linkage rod 707 and the second linkage rod 708 will not damage the button surface during dynamic operation; when the fourth driving member 705 drives the top plate 706 to move back and forth, in cooperation with the first linkage rod 707 and the second linkage rod 708, a plurality of intervening balls 709 can be driven to swing, so as to dynamically disperse the buttons inside the feeding barrel 702; at the same time, the negative pressure member 703 is operated, so that the buttons in the feeding barrel 702 can be dynamically dispersed; Negative pressure is formed inside to achieve cleaning of the buttons. The third driving member 704 is not limited to an electric shaft, but can also be driven by a linear motor, an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, etc., as long as the rotation adjustment of the fourth driving member 705 can be achieved, and no specific limitation is made here. The fourth driving member 705 is not limited to an electric telescopic rod, but can also be driven by a linear motor, an electric cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, etc., as long as the movement adjustment of the top plate 706 can be achieved, and no specific limitation is made here. When the buttons are led out from the feeding barrel 702, they are firstly sorted by the color sorting device 8, and the buttons are guided to fall into the limiting groove 604 of the guide rack 603, and then the second driving member 602 is operated to drive the side of the guide rack 603 close to the color sorting device 8 to be lifted. Under the action of gravity, the buttons in the limiting groove 604 can move toward the side away from the feeding barrel 702;

[0047] The guide rack 603 is placed on the top side of the top rack 501, and the top sorting hole 502 is set on the side of the guide rack 603 away from the second driving member 602. When the second driving member 602 drives one side of the guide rack 603 to rise, the buttons whose color has been identified can be introduced into the top sorting hole 502 along the limiting groove 604, and then guided by the directional cylinder 503 to the bottom sorting feeding device 3 for secondary sorting. When the button is guided out from the bottom of the directional cylinder 503, it passes through the light shield 802 in the middle of the connecting frame 801, and is guided to the inside of the guide rack 603, and then the color is identified by the color sorting member 803, and the color sorting member 803 captures the light reflected from the surface of the button. Buttons of different colors have different reflection and absorption characteristics for light.

In the initial state, the control component 305 is at the bottom of the directional cylinder 503, and the buttons guided by the directional cylinder 503 can fall into the control component 305. Several bottom sorting holes 302 correspond to the cylinders of different colors of the connecting collection cylinder rack assembly 4. When the color recognition is completed, the color sorting component 803 can send out an electrical signal, which can be converted into a control signal for the first driving component 303 to specify the rotation angle, and control the first driving component 303 to drive the connected The rod 304 and the control member 305 rotate to a specified angle, so that the control member 305 rotates to the bottom sorting hole 302 at the specified position, and the control member 305 is turned on. The internal buttons can be guided to the inside of the cylinder of the collection barrel rack assembly 4 of the corresponding color at the bottom, completing the button color sorting and collection, and then the first driving member 303 drives the connecting rod 304 and the control member 305 to reset to the initial state. When the control member 305 is turned on, the buttons in the corresponding bottom sorting hole 302 fall into the collection barrel 404 at the corresponding position. When the collection barrel 404 is collected, it can be taken out from the elastic member 403, and the empty collection barrel 404 can be replaced to continue collecting.

[0048] In summary, multiple sets of driving parts cooperate to achieve dynamic dispersion and cleaning of buttons while reducing the risk of damage.
