[0047] The following is a description of the implementation of the present invention by specific embodiments. People familiar with the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0048] In a specific embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automated sorting equipment provided by the present invention includes a feeding mechanism 1, a sorting machine 2, a sorting bin, a first feed pipe 4, a circulation bin and a control unit; wherein the sorting machine 2 is connected to the feeding mechanism 1 through a first conveying member 8, and the material category of the material to be sorted is identified on the sorting machine 2; there are at least two sorting bins (five sorting bins in this embodiment, obviously, the sorting bins are not limited to five, and the number of sorting bins can be increased or decreased according to actual usage), and each of the sorting bins stores a single category of material; the feed port of the first feed pipe 4 is connected to the first discharge port 5 of the sorting machine 2, and the first feed pipe 4 has a plurality of discharge ports 5, each of the discharge ports 5 An automatic diverter 10 in a normally closed state is installed on each of the feed ports of the sorting bins, which are arranged one by one in correspondence; the circulation bin is connected with the second discharge port 5 of the sorting machine 2 through a second conveying pipe 7, and the circulation bin is connected with the loading mechanism 1 through a second conveying member 9; the control unit is used to open the diverter of the sorting bin corresponding to the sorting target material category according to the pre-set sorting target material category during the sorting process of each stage of the circulation sorting of the automated sorting equipment, and keep the diverter in an open state until the sorting of this stage is completed; the control unit is also used to control the sorting machine to spray target objects belonging to the sorting target material category.

[0049] During the working process, in the loading stage, the material to be sorted is placed on the loading mechanism 1 by an operator or other automated devices. The loading mechanism 1 can be a vibrating loading tray, a belt conveyor, etc. Its function is to transport the material to the first conveyor 8 in an orderly manner. The first conveyor 8 runs at a stable speed and transports the material from the feeding end to the feeding port of the sorting machine 2. In the sorting stage, after the material enters the sorting machine 2, the sorting machine 2 uses built-in sensors (such as visual sensors, near-infrared sensors, weight sensors, etc.) to detect and analyze the characteristics of the material; for example, the visual sensor can identify the appearance characteristics of the material such as color, shape, and size; the near-infrared sensor can analyze the chemical composition of the material; the weight sensor can measure the weight of the material; the control system of the sorting machine 2 compares the data collected by the sensor with the pre-set standard parameters to determine the category of the material. In the diversion stage, during the sorting process of each stage of the cyclic sorting of the automated sorting equipment, according to the preset sorting target material category, the diverter of the sorting bin corresponding to the sorting target material category is opened, and the diverter is kept in the open state until the sorting of this stage is completed; the control unit is also used to control the sorting machine to spray the target objects belonging to the sorting target material category. The sorting bins can be classified and set according to the material categories, such as metal bins, plastic sorting bins, glass bins, etc.

[0050] In some embodiments, the first feed pipe 4 includes a first elbow and a first transverse pipe, and the feed inlet is located at an end of the first elbow away from the first transverse pipe. This structural design is conducive to the flow and distribution of materials, improves the patency and stability of the feed pipe, and reduces the risk of material blockage. The first feed pipe 4 can be a flexible feed pipe or a feed pipe of other shapes to meet the needs of different scenarios.

[0051] Furthermore, the sorting bins are sequentially distributed along the extension direction of the first transverse tube to improve the utilization of the sorting bins and the storage efficiency of the materials. It should be understood that the layout of the sorting bins is not limited to the above structure, and a modular sorting bin design can also be adopted to flexibly adjust the bin positions and quantities according to actual needs.

[0052] Specifically, the sorting machine 2 is a visual sorting machine 2, and the parameter information is the image information of the material to be sorted. In addition to visual recognition, other recognition technologies can also be selected, such as barcode recognition or RFID technology to replace visual recognition, or as a supplement to visual recognition.

[0053] In some embodiments, the circulation bins are at least two groups, which are named as the first circulation bin 61 and the second circulation bin 62 for the convenience of subsequent description; the control unit is also used to obtain the material level of the current circulation bin. When the material level reaches a preset value, the control unit opens the feed valve of the next level circulation bin and closes the feed valve of the current circulation bin, so as to improve the utilization rate of the material and reduce waste and repeated processing costs. At the same time, by setting two circulation bins, the two circulation bins are used alternately in the work process to improve the efficiency of circulation sorting.

[0054] Specifically, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the automatic diverter 10 includes a power member and a flap 102, and the power member is started according to the valve opening instruction of the control unit; the flap 102 is connected to the power member in a transmission manner and swings on a vertical plane under the drive of the power member; wherein, when the flap 102 rotates to a horizontal angle, it is in a closed state, and when the flap 102 is in a closed state, the discharge port 5 is sealed, and the first conveying pipe 4 is connected at the automatic diverter 10; when the flap 102 rotates to a preset angle, it is in an open state, and when the flap 102 is in an open state, the incoming end of the first conveying pipe 4 is connected to the discharge port 5, and the outgoing end of the first conveying pipe 4 is cut off from the discharge port 5. The opening and closing of the flap 102 is controlled by the instruction of the control unit, which improves the accuracy and reliability of the diverter and ensures that the materials enter the corresponding sorting bin accurately.

[0055] Please continue to refer to Figure 3-Figure 4 In order to ensure the reliability of the structure and facilitate assembly with the first material conveying pipe 4, the automatic diverter 10 includes three channels, wherein the first channel 103 is connected to the incoming direction of the first material conveying pipe 4, the second channel 104 is connected to the outgoing direction of the first material conveying pipe 4, and the third channel 105 is connected to the discharge port 5. When the flap 102 is in the open state, the first channel 103 and the third channel 105 are connected, and the second channel 104 and the third channel 105 are blocked, and the material can enter the second channel 104 from the first channel 103, and then the material is transported to the designated sorting bin; when the flap 102 is in the closed state, the second channel 104 and the third channel 105 are connected, and the first channel 103 is blocked by the flap 102, and the material enters the automatic diverter 10 through the second channel 104, and leaves the automatic diverter 10 through the third channel 105, so that the material passes through but does not enter the sorting bin, but enters the downstream sorting bin.

[0056] The channel is composed of a frame and a sheet metal wrapped around the outer periphery of the frame. The power part can be specifically a cylinder 101. One end of the cylinder 101 is installed on the frame, and the other end is installed with a connecting arm 106. The other end of the connecting arm 106 is connected to the rotating shaft 107 of the flap 102. During operation, the cylinder 101 is extended and retracted to drive the connecting arm 106 to swing, thereby driving the rotating shaft 107 to rotate. The rotating shaft 107 is fixed to the flap 102, thereby driving the flap 102 to rotate in a vertical plane.

[0057] In the above specific implementation manner, the automated sorting equipment provided by the present invention realizes automated sorting of various types of materials during the waste recycling process, significantly improving the work efficiency of the sorting operation; through visual sorting technology and precise control of the automatic diverter 10, the sorting accuracy is greatly improved, while reducing labor costs and equipment maintenance costs; in addition, the design of the circulation bin further improves the utilization rate of materials, reduces resource waste, and provides an efficient and reliable sorting solution for the waste recycling industry.

[0058] In addition to the above-mentioned automatic sorting equipment, the present invention also provides a control method, based on the above-mentioned automatic sorting equipment, such as Figure 5 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0060] S520: Collect parameter information of the material to be sorted, and obtain the material category of the material to be sorted according to the comparison result of the parameter information and the pre-stored parameters;

[0061] S530: During the sorting process of each stage of the cyclic sorting of the automated sorting equipment, according to the pre-set sorting target material category, the diverter of the sorting bin corresponding to the sorting target material category is opened, and the diverter is kept in the open state until the sorting of this stage is completed; the control unit is also used to control the sorting machine to spray target objects belonging to the sorting target material category.

[0062] For ease of understanding, the working process of the device and the implementation flow of the control method provided by the present invention are briefly described below in a specific usage scenario.

[0064] The material in the first circulation bin 61 enters the sorting machine 2 again, and the second type of material is selected, and the unsorted material enters the second circulation bin 62; at this time, the auger conveyor of the first circulation bin 61 is turned on, and the material enters the circulation sorting, and the automatic diverter 10 above the second sorting bin 32 corresponding to the second type of material is opened, and the automatic diverters 10 above the other sorting bins are closed.

[0067] The materials in the second circulation bin 62 enter the sorting machine 2 again, and the fifth type of materials are selected, and the unsorted materials enter the first circulation bin 61. This process is repeated until all materials are sorted. At this time, the material auger conveyor of the second circulation bin 62 is turned on, the automatic diverter 10 above the fifth sorting bin 35 corresponding to the fifth type of materials is turned on, and the automatic diverters 10 above the other sorting bins are turned off.
