Currently, color sorters are used for quality inspection and grading of bulk materials, packaged industrial products, and food.

[0003] In the prior art, for example, Chinese patent number CN208213703U discloses a color sorter, which includes a color sorter body, a storage hopper fixedly connected to the color sorter body, a sealing arrangement at the bottom of the storage hopper, a plurality of through-holes provided at the bottom of the storage hopper, a material transport device for transporting materials vertically slidingly connected in the through-holes, the material transport device including a material transport tank vertically slidingly connected to the through-holes, a drive mechanism for driving the material transport tank to vertically reciprocate provided below the storage hopper, a material inlet for feeding and a material outlet for discharging the material entering the material inlet provided on the circumference of the material transport tank, and an evacuation mechanism for evacuating the material provided on the top of the material transport tank. The advantages of the present invention are: making the material feeding of the storage hopper smoother, reducing the possibility of material stacking and clogging the storage hopper.

[0004] In the above patent, although the device can make the material feeding of the storage hopper smoother and reduce the possibility of material stacking and clogging of the storage hopper, the structure of the material outlet of the device is fixed and lacks flexibility. When the size of new products changes, it is often difficult to adapt to new production needs quickly and effectively. For this reason, the utility model provides a color sorter that prevents material blockage and stacking. Utility Model Content

[0012] Beneficial effects

[0013] The utility model provides a color sorter that prevents material blockage and piling. Compared with the existing technology, it has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] (1) The color sorter for preventing material blockage and piling is driven by the cylinder to move the connecting plate and the push plate. When the connecting plate moves, the adjusting plate moves synchronously. When the adjusting plate approaches the material bin, the rectangular channel formed by the first V-shaped groove and the second V-shaped groove will become smaller, and vice versa, the rectangular channel will become larger. When the push plate moves, it cooperates with the rectangular groove to force the cylindrical rod to move upward or downward, thereby controlling the size of the gap between the gate plate and the cylinder. The gap changes synchronously with the width of the rectangular channel formed by the first V-shaped groove and the second V-shaped groove, which is convenient for adjustment according to the size specifications of different materials, thereby improving the compatibility of the device with different products.

[0015] (2) The color sorter that prevents material blockage and accumulation has a gap of adjustable size between the gate plate and the hopper to facilitate the passage of materials. At the same time, the gate plate can divide the inner cavity of the hopper into two parts, the left part is for storing materials, and the materials enter the right side through the gap. The main function is to prevent a large amount of materials from piling up in the rectangular channel composed of the first V-shaped groove and the second V-shaped groove, thereby ensuring smooth transportation of materials. At the same time, the main function of setting the guide plate is to provide a buffering and transition effect for the materials from the hopper to the V-shaped trough, thereby preventing the materials from splashing or being damaged due to the height difference, thereby improving the sorting effect.

[0021] 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.

[0022] This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0023] Figure 1-Figure 4The first embodiment is shown: a color sorter for preventing material blockage and stacking, comprising a casing 1, a feeding mechanism 2 is provided on the top of the casing 1, and the feeding mechanism 2 comprises: a vibration component 21, the vibration component 21 is provided on the top of the casing 1, the vibration component 21 comprises a hopper 211, and a plurality of first V-shaped grooves 215 are provided on the right side of the hopper 211; an adjustment component 22 is provided on the right side of the hopper 211, the adjustment component 22 comprises an adjustment plate 223, and a plurality of second V-shaped grooves 224 are provided on the right side of the adjustment plate 223; a buffer component 23 is provided inside the casing 1, an inspection port 11 is provided on the left surface of the casing 1, a blanking plate 3 is fixedly installed on the right inner wall of the casing 1, and a plurality of V-shaped troughs 31 are provided on the left side of the blanking plate 3. The V-shaped trough 31 is arranged so that the material always stays in the middle of the trough during the sliding process and will not move to the sides, thereby improving the sorting accuracy. A discharge channel 4 is embedded in the bottom of the casing 1. The discharge channel 4 consists of two discharge ports. The left one is used for discharging finished products, and the right one is used for discharging unqualified products. An optical sorting mechanism 5 is provided at the top of the discharge channel 4 near the left side. The optical sorting mechanism 5 is an existing technology that relies on optical properties and computer image processing technology. When the material is transmitted at high speed, it is irradiated by a specific light source, and the reflected light signal is captured by the sensor and converted into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the computer for judgment according to preset parameters, and then the unqualified materials are removed by a high-speed jet valve, etc., to achieve accurate screening and classification, that is, through optical recognition and intelligent sorting.

[0024] Figure 1-Figure 4The second embodiment is shown. The main difference from the first embodiment is that springs 212 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the hopper 211 near the four corners, and the bottom ends of the springs 212 are fixedly installed at the top of the casing 1. A vibration motor 213 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the hopper 211 near the left side. Slots 214 are symmetrically provided on the inner wall of the hopper 211. The adjustment component 22 also includes a cylinder 221 fixedly installed on both sides of the hopper 211. The telescopic end of the cylinder 221 is fixedly installed with a connecting plate 222. The left outer surface of the two connecting plates 222 is fixedly connected to the right surface of the adjusting plate 223. The tops of the two connecting plates 222 are symmetrically fixed with push plates 225. The outer surface of the push plate 225 is provided with a rectangular groove 226. The rectangular groove 226 is set to be higher on the left and lower on the right, which is convenient for cooperating with the cylindrical rod 228 to drive the push plate 225 to rise and fall. The inner part of the rectangular groove 226 is movably provided with a cylindrical rod 228. A gate plate 227 is fixedly connected between the opposite side end surfaces of the cylindrical rod 228, and a gap of adjustable size is left between the gate plate 227 and the hopper 211 to facilitate the passage of materials. At the same time, the gate plate 227 can divide the inner cavity of the hopper 211 into two parts, the left part is for storing materials, and the materials enter the right side through the gap. The main function is to prevent a large amount of materials from accumulating in the rectangular channel composed of the first V-shaped groove 215 and the second V-shaped groove 224, thereby ensuring smooth transportation of materials. The gate plate 227 is movably arranged inside the slot 214, and the buffer assembly 23 includes a support plate 231 fixedly mounted on the top inner side of the casing 1, and a plurality of guide plates 232 are fixedly mounted on the outer surface of the support plate 231. The main function of setting the guide plate 232 is to provide a buffering and transition effect for the materials from the hopper 211 to the V-shaped trough 31, thereby preventing the materials from splashing or being damaged due to the height difference, thereby improving the sorting effect.

[0025] Meanwhile, the contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0026] During operation, the material is put into the silo 211, and the vibration motor 213 is started to make the silo 211 generate high-frequency vibration. At this time, the material jumps and moves microscopically in the silo 211, and the material passes through the gate 227 along the slope of the silo 211, and falls into the guide plate 232 through the rectangular channel composed of the first V-shaped groove 215 and the second V-shaped groove 224, and then slides into the V-shaped trough 31 through the guide plate 232. When the material slides along the V-shaped trough 31, the material is sorted by the optical sorting mechanism 5, and the sorted material is discharged from different outlets in the discharge channel 4. When the size of the material needs to be changed, the cylinder 221 is started to drive the connecting plate 2 22 and the push plate 225 move. When the connecting plate 222 moves, the adjusting plate 223 moves synchronously. When the adjusting plate 223 approaches the hopper 211, the rectangular channel formed by the first V-groove 215 and the second V-groove 224 will become smaller. On the contrary, the rectangular channel will become larger. When the push plate 225 moves, it cooperates with the rectangular groove 226 to force the cylindrical rod 228 to move upward or downward, thereby controlling the size of the gap between the gate plate 227 and the cylinder 221. The gap and the width of the rectangular channel formed by the first V-groove 215 and the second V-groove 224 change synchronously, which is convenient for adjustment according to the size specifications of different materials, thereby improving the compatibility of the device with different products.
