[0025] The docking assembly 4 includes a third conveyor belt 41 . DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a flap sorting device includes a feeding mechanism 1, a detection mechanism 2 and a sorting mechanism 3 connected in sequence. In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 1 includes a second conveyor belt 11 connected to the detection mechanism 2. Single tobacco leaves are placed on the second conveyor belt 11 by manual or automated equipment in the previous process at a certain rhythm or time interval, and are transmitted to the detection mechanism 2 by the second conveyor belt 11 for detection. The detection mechanism 2 can be an infrared detection device, and a corresponding conveyor belt is arranged inside the detection mechanism 2. When the tobacco leaves pass through the detection mechanism 2, the corresponding reflection spectrum is obtained to collect information such as the composition and appearance of the tobacco leaves, and the tobacco leaves are graded by corresponding calculations or comparisons.

[0028] Because the detection of tobacco leaves requires a certain amount of calculation time, a docking assembly 4 is also connected between the detection mechanism 2 and the sorting mechanism 3, and the docking assembly 4 includes a third conveyor belt 41, and the two ends of the third conveyor belt 41 are respectively connected to the detection mechanism 2 and the first conveyor belt 312. The transportation of the docking assembly 4 provides a certain buffer time to adapt to the rhythm of tobacco leaf detection and sorting. In addition, in other preferred embodiments, the transmission direction of the third conveyor belt 41 can also be set to be U-shaped or have a certain angle, which can facilitate the reasonable layout of the space occupied by the entire sorting device.

[0029] The sorting mechanism 3 includes a plurality of flap assemblies 31 and a collecting assembly 32. The flap assembly 31 includes a first bracket 311 and a first conveyor belt 312 rotatably connected to the first bracket 311. The plurality of first conveyor belts 312 are connected in sequence. The collecting assembly 32 includes a collecting box 321, which is arranged directly below the lower end of the first conveyor belt 312. The flap assembly 31 and the collecting assembly 32 are in one-to-one correspondence; when the first conveyor belt 312 rotates on the first bracket 311, the lower end of the first conveyor belt 312 moves downward, and the material at its upper end is transferred to the collecting box 321. It should be noted that when the transferred material reaches the corresponding grade flap assembly 31, the corresponding first conveyor belt 312 will rotate. After the material is transferred to the collecting box 321, the first conveyor belt 312 rotates counterclockwise and resets to a horizontal state. Otherwise, the first conveyor belt 312 is in a horizontal state, and the first conveyor belts 312 on the plurality of flap assemblies 31 are connected in sequence, and the material can be transferred in sequence.

[0030] The first bracket 311 is connected with a flip driving assembly 33, which is arranged just below the first conveyor belt 312 and connected to the rotation connection away from the first bracket 311 and the first conveyor belt 312. The flip driving assembly 33 includes a driving motor 331 arranged on the first bracket 311, and the driving motor 331 is connected to a first transmission rod 333 through a rotating shaft 332; one end of the first transmission rod 333 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 332, and the other end is rotatably connected to a second transmission rod 334, and one end of the second transmission rod 334 away from the first transmission rod 333 is rotatably connected to the first conveyor belt 312. In this embodiment, the first transmission rod 333 is initially in a vertical state, and one end thereof connected to the rotating shaft 332 is at the bottom; the second transmission rod 334 is also in a vertical state, and at this time, the first transmission rod 333 and the second transmission rod 334 also play a supporting role for the first conveyor belt 312, so that the first conveyor belt 312 is in a horizontal state. The driving motor 331 drives the rotating shaft 332 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 332 drives the first transmission rod 333 to rotate, and at the same time drives the second transmission rod 334 to rotate and move downward, thereby driving the first conveyor belt 312 to rotate along the rotation connection between it and the first bracket 311, so that the lower end of the first conveyor belt 312 moves downward, and the material is transmitted to the collection box 321 below it through the first conveyor belt 312. In order to facilitate the control of the rotation angle of the first conveyor belt 312, at least two second sensors 335 can be set on the rotation path of the first transmission rod 333. When the upper second sensor 335 senses the first transmission rod 333, the first conveyor belt 312 is in a reset state, that is, the upper end surface of the first conveyor belt 312 is horizontal; when the lower second sensor 335 senses the first transmission rod 333, the first conveyor belt 312 is in an inclined state after rotation, that is, the material sorting action is performed.

[0031] In addition, it should be noted that a first sensor 313 is provided on the first bracket 311, and the first sensor 313 is provided just above the upstream end of the first conveyor belt 312. When the material is transferred to the corresponding flap assembly 31, the first sensor 313 senses the material, and the flip drive assembly 33 performs a rotation action, so that the material is transferred to the corresponding collection box 321. In addition, a dust cover 314 is connected to the first bracket 311, and the dust cover 314 is provided above the first conveyor belt 312. In the connection of multiple flap assemblies 31, multiple dust covers 314 are also connected to each other to form a whole, so as to provide dust protection for the entire process of the sorting mechanism 3.

[0032] The collection assembly 32 includes a conveying roller group 322, and a collection box 321 is arranged on the conveying roller group 322 and can move on the conveying roller group 322; the conveying direction of the conveying roller group 322 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 312. In this embodiment, both ends of the conveying direction of the conveying roller group 322 extend out of both sides of the first conveyor belt 312; when the collection box 321 is full, another collection box 321 can be pushed in from the upper end of the conveying roller group 322, and the full collection box 321 is pushed to the lower end of the conveying roller group 322, and then the full collection box 321 is processed by an operator or other equipment. The collection box 321 can be replaced continuously, further improving the efficiency of sorting.

[0033] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of the utility model, and their purpose is to enable people familiar with this technology to understand the content of the utility model and implement it accordingly, and they cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the utility model. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the utility model is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the utility model can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic features of the utility model. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the utility model is limited by the attached claims rather than the above description, so it is intended to include all changes within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims in the utility model.
