DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] See also Figure 1-4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a camera connection structure on a color sorter, comprising: a frame 1, a camera assembly 2, a feed bin 3, a first discharge pipe 4, and a second discharge pipe 41; a color sorting system is installed on the frame 1, the top of the frame 1 is connected to the feed bin 3, a first discharge pipe 4 and a second discharge pipe 41 are provided between the frame 1 and the color sorting system, a camera assembly 2 is provided on the color sorting system, and the camera assembly 2 includes a panel 5, a positioning structure 51, a camera body 53, and a fixing frame 54;

[0033] A positioning structure 51 is connected between the panel 5 and the frame 1, and the positioning structure 51 is used to connect and fix the panel 5 and the frame 1;

[0034] A camera body 53 is fixedly mounted on the panel 5 , and the camera body 53 is used by the color sorting system to distinguish the color of the material surface.

[0035] The rack 1 is provided with a slot that matches the panel 5. The slot effectively locks the panel 5 in place, and a certain space is reserved between the slot and the panel 5 to facilitate the movement of the panel 5 within a certain range.

[0036] A fixing frame 54 is fixedly mounted on the side of the frame 1 facing away from the panel 5, wherein the fixing frame 54 is the same size as the outer surface of the camera body 53, so that the camera body 53 can be effectively positioned after being placed;

[0037] When the color sorter is working, the material is introduced into the color sorting system through the feed bin 3 for screening. After screening, the high-quality material flows out through the discharge pipe 1 4, and the low-quality material flows out through the discharge pipe 2 41;

[0038] When the color sorter is working, the frame 1 will generate vibration through the internal instruments. The vibration drives the connected multiple docking rods 2 64 to move downward, thereby squeezing the corresponding piston heads 61. A connecting pipe 1 7 is connected between the two groups of docking rods 1 63. In this way, the air is conducted through the connecting pipe 1 7 after the downward pressure. The space of the connecting pipe 1 7 is limited. The two groups of docking rods 1 63 move downward synchronously. The squeezed air cannot be discharged, which will generate a certain reaction force. The reaction force reduces the vibration amplitude of the installed camera body 53, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of excessive vibration amplitude and displacement of the camera body 53; when the machine is stopped, the camera body 53 is quickly reset by the built-in spring 62, which further avoids the phenomenon of displacement of the camera body 53, thereby effectively improving the stability of the color sorter during use.

[0039] The positioning structure 51 includes a plurality of fixed columns 6 installed outside the fixed frame 54. A piston head 61 is slidably connected to each fixed column 6. A spring 62 is installed between each piston head 61 and the inner bottom wall of the corresponding fixed column 6. The spring 62 ensures that the piston head 61 can be effectively reset after displacement.

[0040] A docking rod 1 63 is fixedly mounted on one side of the piston head 61 away from the spring 62. The outer side of the docking rod 1 63 is threadedly connected to the docking rod 2 64. The docking rod 2 64 is rotatably connected to the panel 5. The docking rod 1 63 and the docking rod 2 64 are threadedly connected, which is convenient for the staff to disassemble and assemble.

[0041] The two docking rods 63 are each provided with a ventilation hole 1, and an insert rod 83 is installed in the ventilation hole 1. The insert rod 83 is fixedly installed in the docking rod 2 64. The other end of the insert rod 83 extends to the outside of the docking rod 2 64 and is connected to the one-way valve 2 84. The one-way valve 2 84 maintains a seal when the piston head 61 moves inward, and maintains a ventilation state when the piston head 61 moves outward.

[0042] The two piston heads 61 are each provided with a second ventilation hole, through which external air is effectively introduced into the fixing column 6 .

[0043] The multiple fixing columns 6 are divided into three groups, and each group uses two upper and lower fixing columns 6. Through the setting of the fixing columns 6, the camera body 53 is effectively buffered, the vibration amplitude is reduced, and it can reset itself after the vibration is completed. This effectively ensures the stability of the camera body 53 during use, and at the same time can blow away the powder on the surface of the camera body 53, which effectively improves the color separation effect of the camera body 53 during use.

[0044] The two groups of fixing columns 6 are connected by a connecting tube 1 7, which effectively connects the two groups of fixing columns 6. When the air in the fixing columns 6 is squeezed, a reaction force is provided between the two, thereby effectively reducing the vibration amplitude of the camera body 53.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] like Figure 5 、 6 As shown, in the second embodiment, the structure is that two upper and lower ventilation grooves 8 are opened in the fixed frame 54, and the ventilation grooves 8 are opened with multiple air outlets, and the air outlets are fixedly installed with air outlet heads 81; the air outlets of the other two fixed columns 6 are connected to the corresponding air inlets of the ventilation grooves 8, and the air outlets of the fixed columns 6 are installed with one-way valves 82. When the color sorter is working, the frame 1 will vibrate through the internal instruments, and the vibration drives the two connecting rods 64 to move downward, squeezing the piston head 61 to move, and the one-way valve 82 is used to release the air. 82 is opened and the one-way valve 84 is closed, and the air inside the corresponding fixed column 6 is discharged and introduced into the multiple air outlet heads 81 on the corresponding ventilation groove 8 for discharge. The purpose of this is to blow away the powder adhering to the surface of the camera body 53, thereby ensuring the stability of the camera body 53 during operation; when the piston head 61 is reset, the one-way valve 82 is closed and the one-way valve 84 is opened, and the external air is introduced into the fixed column 6 through the insertion rod 83, the docking rod 63 and the piston head 61, thereby ensuring that the powder continues to be blown away during the next vibration.
