[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-4 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a sorting machine for the consistency of the size of electric cores, including a U-shaped frame 1. A plurality of screening holes 10 arranged at equal intervals are provided on the bottom plate body of the front side of the U-shaped frame 1. The widths of the plurality of screening holes 10 gradually decrease from front to back, realizing the sorting operation of electric cores of various sizes from back to front;
[0027] Specifically, two symmetrically arranged left and right rotating shafts 2 are rotatably connected between the front and rear side plates of the U-shaped frame 1. A conveyor belt 20 connected end to end is connected between the two rotating shafts 2. A plurality of pusher plates 22 arranged at equal intervals are fixedly installed on the outer surface of the conveyor belt 20. The end of one of the rotating shafts 2 is coaxially provided with a driving motor 21. The end of the output shaft of the driving motor 21 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 2, and the driving motor 21 is fixedly installed on the U-shaped frame 1, realizing the sorting operation of pushing the electric core to the screening hole 10 by using the pusher plate 22.
[0028] In this embodiment, a feed hopper 11 is fixedly installed at the right end of the U-shaped frame 1. The feed hopper 11 is arranged to be inclined upward by 15° to 30°, and the feed hopper 11 is used for the feeding operation of the electric core.
