[0002] A color sorter is a device for automatically sorting out different color particles in granular materials according to the difference in optical characteristics of the materials. When working, the image information of the materials is collected by a camera sensor and transmitted to a processor, and the processor analyzes and processes the information and issues an instruction, so that intermittent air is sprayed by a pneumatic nozzle to achieve the purpose of screening the materials.
[0003] The camera of the existing color sorter is usually directly installed and fixed by bolts, but the camera of the color sorter will deviate during the operation of the equipment due to vibration after long-time use of the color sorter, which will affect the screening of the color sorter. If the position of the camera is adjusted when the color sorter is stopped, the efficiency of the color sorter will be affected. Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the application provides a calibration device for a camera of a color sorter. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

An electric telescopic rod then raises and lowers the movable base to adjust its height. A servo motor drives a lead screw to rotate, causing the lead screw to move the mounting base horizontally, thus adjusting the left and right movement of the camera body. Compared to existing technologies, this design facilitates the movement and adjustment of the camera body during operation, enabling calibration and preventing disruption to the normal use of the color sorter.

[0017] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 - Figure 4 This application will be described in further detail.
[0018] Example:
[0019] A calibration device for a color sorter camera, used for calibrating and adjusting the color sorter camera, with reference to... Figure 1 The system includes a base 1, which facilitates the installation of various components. The base 1 has multiple through holes 2 symmetrically arranged, which facilitate the installation of the base 1 on the color sorter. The top of the base 1 has a movable seat 3, which can be moved to facilitate the adjustment of the height of the camera body 11. Both the base 1 and the movable seat 3 are L-shaped and symmetrically arranged. The base 1 has a calibration adjustment component 4, which facilitates the adjustment of the height and left and right position of the camera body 11.
[0020] In use, the base 1 is installed on the color sorter through the through hole 2 on the base 1. Subsequently, the height and left and right position of the camera body 11 are adjusted through the calibration and adjustment component 4 on the base 1.
[0021] Reference Figure 2 - Figure 4 The calibration and adjustment assembly 4 includes an electric telescopic rod 5, which is mounted on the base 1. A movable seat 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 5, allowing the electric telescopic rod 5 to move the movable seat 3 and adjust its height. Mounting brackets 6 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the movable seat 3, and a lead screw 7 is rotatably connected between the two mounting brackets 6. The lead screw 7 is laterally positioned on the movable seat 3. A servo motor 8 is fixedly mounted on one mounting bracket 6, and a mounting seat 9 is movably mounted on the lead screw 7, allowing the mounting seat 9 to move on the lead screw 7. The mounting seat 9 has symmetrically formed mounting grooves 10, both of which completely penetrate the mounting seat 9, facilitating the use of bolts 12 to mount the camera. The main body 11 is installed and fixed. The mounting base 9 has a camera body 11 on its surface. The camera body 11 is used to easily identify materials. The camera body 11 is fixed to the mounting base 9 with bolts 12, so that the mounting base 9 moves and drives the camera body 11 to move. The movable base 3 has symmetrically opened sliding grooves 13 on its rear side. The sliding grooves 13 are engaged with the color sorter.
