[0028] In order to facilitate the understanding of the above technical solutions of the present invention, the working principle or operation method of the present invention in the actual process will be described in detail below.

[0029] In actual application, the springs to be sorted are placed in the vibrating bowl 4. By turning on the vibrating bowl 4, the springs are arranged horizontally and enter the conveyor belt 3 through the outlet of the vibrating bowl 4. Then, the attitude of the springs is adjusted by the guide plates 501 on both sides of the support frame 2, so that the springs are in a horizontal state. And when it is necessary to adjust the attitude of springs of other different sizes, the moving plate can be moved to drive the clamping block 506 into the groove 504, and the fixing block 503 can be taken out from the clamping groove 507, so that the guide plate 501 can be disassembled. When it is necessary to install the guide plate 501, the moving plate can be moved again so that the fixing block 503 can be placed in the clamping groove 507. And under the action of the telescopic spring 8, one end of the clamping block 506 can be placed in the clamping groove 507 to fix the fixing block 503, so that the guide plate 501 can be fixed. The disassembly and installation are relatively simple. After the attitude of the springs is adjusted, the conveyor belt 3 moves to move the springs under the CCD camera 603. The CCD camera 603 can take pictures of the springs and transmit the captured pictures to the inside of the controller 604. After image processing inside the controller 604, the height of the springs can be measured. According to the measurement results, it is determined whether the springs meet the production standards. The springs that meet the production standards can be conveyed into the collection box 13 along the conveyor belt 3. When the springs do not meet the standards, the controller 604 can control the electric push rod 15 to drive the push plate 16 to move, so that the push plate 16 pushes the springs into the transfer groove 17, and the springs that do not meet the standards are conveyed into the recycling box 18 through the transfer groove 17.

[0030] In summary, by means of the above technical solution of the present invention, through the setting of the guiding mechanism 5 and the guide plate 501, the attitude of the springs entering the conveyor belt 3 can be adjusted to make the springs in a horizontal state, preventing the springs from having an incorrect attitude when passing through the CCD camera 603, which affects the analysis and measurement results of the pictures taken by the CCD camera by the controller 604 and the normality of the measurement results. And by setting the clamping block 506 and the spring at the bottom end of the guide plate 501, it is convenient to fix and disassemble the guide plate 501, and it is convenient to replace the guide plate 501 with different inclination degrees according to springs of different diameters, improving the practicability of this sorting device.
