[0002] Down products are widely popular for their excellent warmth and lightness. With the general improvement of current living standards, down products are becoming more and more popular. The key raw materials of down products are down and feathers. Down products need to go through multiple processing steps. The processing of down and feather materials is extremely cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive. In particular, the sorting of down and feathers is the most inconvenient. Down and feather sorting is an important link in the production process of down products. It aims to separate down and feathers to ensure the quality and performance of the final product.

[0003] Currently, down and feathers are mostly separated by air separation when sorting. Specifically, airflow is used to separate lightweight down and heavy feathers. Although this method can separate down and feathers, the quality of each feather after separation varies (feather size, feather moisture, etc.). Existing sorting devices are difficult to further sort feathers and have significant functional limitations. Utility Model Content

[0004] The utility model provides a down and feather sorting device to solve the problem that the existing sorting device is difficult to further sort the feathers.

[0010] Preferably, a plurality of infrared sensors are provided at equal intervals along the width direction of the conveyor belt, and each of the infrared sensors includes an infrared temperature sensor and an infrared humidity sensor.

[0011] Preferably, a fan is installed on one side of the screening box, a filter is installed at the air inlet of the fan, and a discharge port is opened on the other side of the screening box, and the discharge port is lower than the height of the fan.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom end of the discharge port is connected to an inclined second material guide plate, and the top end of the screening box is equipped with a feeding hopper.

[0013] Preferably, there are two multi-axis robotic arms, which are located on both sides of the frame.

[0014] In the above technical solution, the technical effects and advantages provided by the utility model are:

[0015] (1) The feathers that fall after sorting are transported by a conveyor belt, and images of the feathers are captured by an industrial camera. The temperature and humidity of the feathers are monitored by an infrared sensor.

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 creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a down and feather sorting device includes a frame 1, a detection component 5 and a multi-axis robotic arm 6. A conveyor belt 7 is installed on the frame 1. A screening box 2 is provided above the frame 1 and in front of the conveyor belt 7. A feeding hopper 4 is installed on the top of the screening box 2, and a fan 3 is installed on one side of the screening box 2. A filter is installed at the air inlet of the fan 3. A discharge port 9 is provided on the other side of the screening box 2, and the discharge port 9 is lower than the height of the fan 3. The detection component 5 is provided on the rear side of the screening box 2 along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 7, and the detection component 5 includes an inverted concave frame 51, an industrial camera 52 and an infrared sensor 53. The inverted concave frame 51 is fixed on the frame 1, and the industrial camera 52 and the infrared sensor 53 are both installed on the top of the inverted concave frame 51. The high-resolution industrial camera 52 is used to capture images of feathers, and a suitable light source (such as an LED light) can also be provided to ensure that the image is clear and reduce shadows and reflections. After shooting The image is fed back to the PLC controller, which has an image processing module and a feature extraction module. The image processing module improves the contrast and clarity of the image through steps such as denoising, grayscale, and binarization, and can remove background noise and highlight the characteristics of the feathers. The feature extraction module can extract information such as the length, width, shape, color, and texture of the feathers, and compare it with the preset standards through the PLC controller to make a qualified or unqualified judgment. A plurality of infrared sensors 53 are equidistantly arranged along the width direction of the conveyor belt 7, and each infrared sensor 53 includes an infrared temperature sensor and an infrared humidity sensor. The multi-axis robot 6 is arranged on the side of the frame 1 and at the rear side of the screening box 2, and a suction cup 12 is installed at the output end of the multi-axis robot 6, wherein the multi-axis robot 6 is preferably provided with two, and the two multi-axis robot arms 6 are located on both sides of the frame 1, and the two multi-axis robot arms 6 are arranged front to back.

[0026] Furthermore, a second inclined guide plate 10 is connected to the bottom end of the discharge port 9, and a down receiving box can be set outside the discharge port 9. The second guide plate 10 is used to guide the down blown out of the discharge port 9 into the down receiving box.

[0027] The infrared temperature sensor and infrared humidity sensor described above can be specifically described as follows: Using a non-contact infrared temperature sensor, the surface temperature of the feathers can be quickly and accurately measured; the measured temperature data is compared with a preset threshold value, and feathers exceeding the threshold value are marked as abnormal and can be subsequently removed by a multi-axis robotic arm 6 equipped with a suction cup 12;

[0028] The infrared humidity sensor emits infrared light of a specific wavelength and illuminates the surface of the object to be measured. Part of the infrared light is absorbed by the moisture on the surface of the object, and the other part is reflected back. By detecting the intensity change of the reflected light, the humidity of the object surface can be inferred. The measured humidity data is compared with the preset threshold. Feathers that exceed the threshold are marked as abnormal and can be removed by the multi-axis robotic arm 6 equipped with a suction cup 12.

[0029] In addition, see Figure 5 As described, a first guide plate 8 is provided at the end of the frame 1 and at the conveying end of the conveyor belt 7.

[0030] Through the above, qualified feathers are continuously conveyed along the conveyor belt 7. After being conveyed to the end, they are guided by the first guide plate 8 into the collection box. The servo motor 11 drives the first connecting rod 13 to rotate, thereby realizing flexible adjustment of the tilt angle of the first guide plate 8. When the collection box is removed, the lower end of the first guide plate 8 can be deflected upward to avoid obstruction.
