Inside the frame 1, an inclined and opposite sorting box 2 and an air box 3 are fixedly installed. Inside the sorting box 2, an image acquisition mechanism is provided, and the image acquisition mechanism has an angle adjustment function. The image acquisition mechanism includes: a plurality of cameras 6;
[0027] A first angle adjustment component 7 for adjusting the up and down angles of the plurality of cameras 6. The first angle adjustment component 7 includes a sliding rod 71, and two limit blocks 72 are fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding rod 71. The sliding rod 71 is rotatably connected to the left side inner wall of the sorting box 2, and the sliding rod 71 penetrates through the sorting box 2 and extends to the right end of the sorting box 2 and is fixedly connected with an extension rod 73. A guide groove 74 is opened inside the extension rod 73. The right side of the sorting box 2 is fixedly connected with a hydraulic cylinder 75. The telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder 75 is fixedly connected with a guide rod 76, and the guide rod 76 is located inside the guide groove 74.
[0028] The second angle adjustment assembly 8 is provided with multiple groups at equal intervals, and the second angle adjustment assembly 8 is used to adjust the left and right angles of multiple cameras 6. The second angle adjustment assembly 8 includes a sliding sleeve 81 sleeved on the surface of the sliding rod 71, and the position of the sliding sleeve 81 is fixed by a locking bolt 82. A rotating rod 83 is rotatably connected to the surface of the sliding sleeve 81 through a rotating seat. A worm gear 84 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 83. Two mounting seats 85 are fixedly connected to the surface of the sliding sleeve 81 on the left and right. A worm 86 is rotatably connected between the two mounting seats 85, and the worm 86 is in meshing transmission with the worm gear 84. An adjustment motor 87 is fixedly connected to the right side of the right mounting seat 85, and the output end of the adjustment motor 87 is fixedly connected to the right end of the worm 86.
[0029] Under the action of the first angle adjustment assembly 7 and the second angle adjustment assembly 8, the cameras in the image acquisition mechanism can realize the adjustment of the left and right and up and down angles, so that the camera 6 can be better opposite to the material, ensuring the accuracy of image acquisition and improving the practicability of the device during use.
[0030] The second implementation mode is mainly different from the first implementation mode in that: the mounting assembly 9 is provided with multiple groups at equal intervals, and the mounting assembly 9 is used to mount multiple cameras 6 on the second angle adjustment assembly 8. The mounting assembly 9 includes a bottom plate 91 fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating rod 83.
