The detection mechanism obtains the information of the bamboo strips and detects and classifies the bamboo strips according to different colors, thereby overcoming the problem of sorting errors easily caused by color difference of the human eye and improving the efficiency of visual inspection of the appearance of the bamboo strips.

[0003] Although the detection mechanism overcomes the problem of sorting errors easily caused by color difference of the human eye, thereby improving the efficiency of visual inspection of the appearance of bamboo strips, there are still some shortcomings in the operation of the mechanism. The structural design of the mechanism is not ideal, especially the stability of the detection mechanism is not good. The vibration generated when the bamboo strips pass through the detection mechanism is easily transmitted to the color detection device, thereby affecting its visual inspection effect; and the inspection effect of the color detection device is not ideal. Generally, the color inspection of the bamboo strips is performed on one side (that is, the color inspection of the upper surface of the bamboo strips). Although the orientation of the bamboo strips (that is, the yellow side facing up or the green side facing up) can be solved, there is a lack of visual inspection of the bamboo strips as a whole, and the visual inspection of the appearance of the bamboo strips is not refined enough, so it is difficult to screen out high-quality bamboo strip products.
