[0027] Example 1

[0028] As shown in the figure, the first transmission component is installed on the workbench 1 through the first support frame 2, and the second transmission component is installed on the workbench 1 at the side of the first transmission component through the second support frame 3. The first transmission component and the second transmission component are both composed of a driving motor 41, an active roller 42, a driven roller 43 and a transmission belt 44. The output end of the driving motor 41 is connected to the active roller 42, and the active roller 42 is connected to the driven roller 43 through the transmission belt 44. The left baffle 21 is installed at one end of the top surface of the first support frame 2, and the right baffle is installed at the other end. Plate 22, a plurality of mounting plates 60 are fixedly connected on one side of the first support frame 2, a telescopic cylinder 61 is fixedly installed on each mounting plate 60, and the telescopic end of the telescopic cylinder 61 is connected to the sorting push plate 62, an opening is provided at a position corresponding to each sorting push plate 62 on the right baffle plate 22 installed on the other side of the first support frame 2, and a slide plate 7 is installed at a position where the opening is provided on the right baffle plate 22 on the second support frame 2, and second baffle plates 31 are respectively installed at both ends of the top surface of the second support frame 3, and the bottom end of the slide plate 7 is connected to the second baffle plate 31,

[0029] The two ends of the detection frame 50 in the height detection part are connected to the left baffle 21 and the right baffle 22 respectively. The optical sensor 51 is installed on the top of the detection frame 50. The color sensor 53 is installed on the right baffle 22. The photoelectric sensor 52 is installed on the left baffle 21. The installation positions of the color sensor 53 and the photoelectric sensor 52 correspond to each other, and the installation positions of the two sensors are located between the two telescopic cylinders 61.

[0030] A PLC controller 8 is installed at one end of the workbench 1. The PLC controller 8 is provided with a display panel 81 and a control button 82. The PLC controller 8 is electrically connected to the drive motor 41, the telescopic cylinder 61, the optical sensor 51, the color sensor 53 and the photoelectric sensor 52 respectively, and a storage groove 11 is provided at the end position of the second transmission component on the workbench 1 for storing materials.

[0031] Example 2

[0032] The optical sensor 51, color sensor 53 and photoelectric sensor 52 used in the present invention are existing devices. The optical sensor 51 scans the object through the light beam emitted by a light source such as a laser or LED and receives the reflected light to measure the distance between the object and the sensor, thereby measuring the height of the material passing through the detection frame 50. The color sensor 53 is used to detect the color of the material, and the photoelectric sensor 52 is used to detect the photosensitivity of the material.

[0033] The materials for training are stored in the storage slot 11 on the workbench 1. When performing training operations, the materials are placed on the transmission belt 44 of the first transmission component in turn. The entire training equipment is started by the control button 82 on the PLC controller 8. The two drive motors 41 are started. The transportation direction of the first transmission component is opposite to that of the second transmission component. The material is transported by the first transmission component through the height detection part. The optical sensor 51 detects the height of the material. The detection information is transmitted to the PLC controller 8 and compared with the preset value. When the height of the material does not meet the requirements, the PLC controller 8 controls the first telescopic cylinder 61 to start, push the sorting push plate 61 forward, push the material to the corresponding slide plate 7, and slide from the slide plate 7 to the second transmission component.

[0034] Similarly, when the material passes through the height detection unit, the material continues to move forward after passing the detection, and passes through the color sensor 53 and the photoelectric sensor 51 to detect the color and photosensitivity of the material. When one of the color or photosensitivity does not meet the requirements, the PLC controller 8 controls the second telescopic cylinder 61 to start, and the material is sorted out from the first transmission component, so as to realize the sorting of materials with different properties, and the structure is simple and the operation is convenient;

[0035] When the material passes all the tests and moves to the rear end of the first transmission component, it is pushed to the transmission belt 44 of the second transmission component by the last telescopic cylinder 61. The second transmission component transports all the materials to the storage slot 11 on the workbench 1 for use in the next sorting training operation without manual storage.
