AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies are unable to effectively distinguish coral sand particles of different shapes (such as flakes, rods, and blocks) within the same particle size range, and traditional equipment has low screening efficiency and high cost, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale sorting.
A dual sorting device for coral sand particles based on both particle size and shape was designed, including a particle size sorting system, a flaky particle sorting system, and a block and rod-shaped particle sorting system. The device achieves dual screening of particle size and shape through multi-stage screens and inclined guide plates. Combined with a vibration mechanism and valve design, the screening efficiency and accuracy are improved.
It achieves complete separation of flaky, rod-shaped, and blocky coral sand within the same particle size range, significantly improving sorting accuracy and efficiency, reducing equipment modification costs, and is applicable to resource-constrained environments, extending to the shape sorting of other non-spherical particles.
