[0002] Feather and down are excellent thermal insulation materials and are very popular among consumers. However, the production of down products requires multiple processing steps before they can become specifications that meet the needs of down product manufacturing and down import and export.
[0003] Sorting feathers and down is an important step in the production of down products. The main purpose is to separate feathers and down for subsequent processing and use. Since down is lighter than feathers, the existing technology often uses wind sorting devices to sort feathers and down. However, the feeding of wind sorting devices is mainly done manually, which makes it difficult to ensure the uniformity of feeding. When the feed is large, if the wind force cannot be adjusted in time, the sorting accuracy will decrease. In addition, the existing wind sorting devices are not convenient for collecting the separated feathers and down. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments; based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a down and feather sorting device includes a sorting box 1, a vertical cylinder 2 is installed through the top surface of the sorting box 1, and a feeding assembly is connected to the top of the vertical cylinder 2. The feeding assembly includes a feeding hopper 10, a feeding port is provided at the top of the feeding hopper 10, and a motor 11 is installed on the top of the feeding hopper 10. The output end of the motor 11 is connected to a vertical rod 12 inside the feeding hopper 10, and a spiral blade 13 is installed on the vertical rod 12. The bottom of the vertical rod 12 extends to the inside of the vertical cylinder 2, and the top of the spiral blade 13 is located inside the feeding hopper 10, and the bottom is located inside the vertical cylinder 2.
[0021] The feather and down mixture is fed into the feed hopper 10 through the feed port, and the motor 11 drives the spiral blade 13 to rotate through the vertical rod 12. The spiral blade 13 conveys the mixture, which can avoid blockage of the discharge port of the feed hopper 10 and ensure the uniformity of feeding.
[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, a conical distribution plate 3 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the sorting box 1 just below the vertical cylinder 2. A cavity is provided inside the distribution plate 3, and an annular groove is opened in the middle of the side. An air inlet pipe 4 is installed through the bottom surface, and an annular air outlet pipe 5 connected to the air inlet pipe 4 is installed inside the annular groove. A plurality of air outlet nozzles are provided on the side of the air outlet pipe 5, and the direction of the air outlet nozzle is inclined upward. A limiting ring 6 is installed on the side of the distribution plate 3 below the annular groove, and a circular tube 14 extending to the bottom of the sorting box 1 is fixed at the bottom. A hand wheel is installed on the outside of the circular tube 14. One end of the air inlet pipe 4 is connected to the air outlet pipe 5, and the other end extends to the outside of the sorting box 1 after passing through the circular tube 14. The upper and lower ends of the limiting ring 6 are provided with inward bending portions.
[0023] The air inlet pipe 4 is connected to the output end of the variable frequency fan through a rotary joint. The air flow enters the air outlet pipe 5 through the air inlet pipe 4 and is then ejected through the air outlet nozzle. The mixture of feathers and down falls onto the distribution plate 3 and slides downward along the surface of the distribution plate 3. When it slides to the annular groove, it is blown up by the air flow from the air outlet nozzle. Since the weight of the down is less than that of the feathers, the down is blown up to a higher height, thereby realizing the separation of the down and feathers. After the feathers move to the outside of the limit ring 6, the upward airflow impulse will gradually decrease, and the upward airflow impulse along the outward direction of the vertical tube 2 will gradually decrease. Then, when the airflow impulse is less than the gravity of the feathers, the feathers will fall downward.
[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, a plurality of scrapers 7 are connected to the lower side of the distribution plate 3 through a connecting rod, a discharge hopper 8 is provided at the bottom edge of the sorting box 1, and a down collecting assembly is connected to the upper side through a connecting pipe 9. A blocking cover 15 is detachably installed at the bottom of the discharge hopper 8. The down collecting assembly includes a collecting box 16. A circular hole is provided on the top surface of the collecting box 16, and a filter cartridge 17 is installed inside the circular hole. A top cover 18 is detachably installed on the top of the filter cartridge 17. An air guide pipe 19 is connected to the upper side of the collecting box 16, and the connecting pipe 9 passes through the side of the collecting box 16 and is connected to the filter cartridge 17.
[0025] Connecting air duct 19 to a vacuum pump allows the down to enter filter cartridge 17 through connecting pipe 9, leaving the feathers in sorting box 1. After sorting, turn off the vacuum pump and fan, open cover 15, and rotate circular tube 14 using the handwheel. This rotates the distribution tray 3, which in turn rotates scraper 7 via a connecting rod, transporting the feathers to discharge hopper 8 for easy collection. Open top cover 18 to remove the collected down.
[0026] In specific use, the mixture of feathers and down is put into the feeding hopper 10 through the feeding port, the motor 11 drives the spiral blade 13 to rotate and evenly transport the mixture to the distribution plate 3, and the air flow blown out by the air outlet blows up the mixture. Since the weight of down is less than that of feathers, the down is blown up to a higher height. When it reaches the connecting pipe 9, the down enters the filter cartridge 17 through the connecting pipe 9, thereby realizing the separation of down and feathers.
