[0012] This utility model provides a material diversion and metering belt conveyor device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This material diversion and metering belt conveyor device, through the setting of detection and rotation mechanisms, uses a camera to take pictures of the materials on the main conveyor belt during use. The data is then transmitted to an image processor on one side for analysis and processing. The processed data is then transmitted to PLC controller A for further processing. Based on the size of the materials, the drive motor at the bottom of the diversion plate is controlled to rotate forward or backward, thereby conveying materials of different sizes to the auxiliary conveyor belts on both sides for classification and processing, improving the material sorting efficiency and eliminating the need for manual sorting.

At this time, the infrared receiver transmits the signal to the PLC controller B on one side, which processes it and records a value. Finally, the statistical value is sent to the display screen on one side for display, thereby achieving the effect of material metering. There is no need for manual statistics by the staff, freeing the staff from tedious manual statistics work, and significantly improving the accuracy and reliability of metering.
