Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a sorting machine, and more specifically, a laser-induced sorting machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the fields of industrial production and resource recycling, sorting machines, as key equipment for achieving efficient material separation, have always attracted much attention for their technological development. Traditional sorting machines mainly achieve material separation based on principles such as gravity, magnetism, electricity, and photoelectricity. For example, gravity separators rely on the density differences of materials to complete stratification and screening under the action of fluids; magnetic separators utilize the adsorption properties of magnetic fields to separate magnetic materials; and photoelectric separators use optical sensors to detect physical characteristics such as the color and shape of materials, combined with airflow jets to achieve separation. However, these traditional sorting methods have obvious limitations. Gravity separation is not effective for separating materials with similar densities, magnetic separation is only applicable to magnetic materials, and photoelectric separation relies on visible surface features of materials, making it difficult to deeply analyze the chemical composition of materials. As the industry's requirements for the accuracy and efficiency of material sorting continue to increase, a new type of equipment that can break through the bottlenecks of traditional sorting technologies is needed. Although laser technologies such as laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy can theoretically achieve precise sorting by analyzing the spectral characteristics of materials, there is currently a lack of suitable laser-induced breakdown separators on the market.
