Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material sorting technology, and in particular to an intelligent sorting system. Background Technology
[0002] Biomass pellets are a new type of clean fuel that can be directly burned. They are made from agricultural and forestry waste (such as straw, sawdust, bagasse, rice husks, etc.) through processes such as crushing, mixing, extrusion, and drying.
[0003] Because the raw materials for biomass pellets contain a lot of hard impurities, such as stones, small iron pieces, and glass shards, these hard impurities need to be screened out after crushing to avoid affecting subsequent production processes. However, existing intelligent sorting systems cannot completely remove these hard impurities, which can easily lead to clogging of the extrusion equipment and affect the quality of the biomass pellets. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing technologies cannot completely remove impurities, and to propose an intelligent sorting system.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] An intelligent sorting system includes a housing, inside which a sorting component for preliminary impurity removal is installed. A mounting shell is located below the housing, inside which a conveying component for conveying raw materials is installed. A visual inspection device for detecting impurities in the raw materials is installed on the side of the housing. A rejection component for secondary impurity removal is installed on the surface of the mounting shell. An arc-shaped plate for flattening the raw materials on the conveyor belt surface is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the housing.
[0007] In some embodiments, the sorting component includes a feeding box and a discharge plate that allows the raw material to slide obliquely. The feeding box and the discharge plate are both fixedly assembled inside the box body. A storage box is fixedly assembled inside the box body. Multiple fans are fixedly connected to the side of the box body away from the storage box. An obliquely arranged separation plate is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the box body.
[0008] In some embodiments, the conveying assembly includes two conveying rollers and a conveyor belt for conveying raw materials, wherein the two sides of the conveyor belt are spaced apart from the inner wall of the mounting housing.
[0009] In some embodiments, the removal assembly includes a threaded post and a brush for cleaning impurities, the brush being threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded post, the threaded post being rotatably connected to the surface of a support frame via a bearing, and the support frame being fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting housing.
[0010] In some embodiments, two one-way exhaust valves are fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the storage bin and the upper surface of the bin body.
[0011] In some embodiments, the storage bin is equipped with a screw conveyor for uniform material discharge.
[0012] In some embodiments, a magnetic block for attracting iron filings is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting housing.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an intelligent sorting system with the following beneficial effects.
[0014] 1. This utility model involves obliquely conveying raw materials to the surface of a separating plate via a feeding box and a discharge plate. The fan then generates airflow, which blows the falling raw materials into a storage box. Since the density of hard impurities is greater than that of the raw materials, the airflow carries the raw materials into the storage box, while the hard impurities slide off the separating plate and are discharged through the discharge port, thus achieving the purpose of initial removal.
[0015] 2. This utility model uses a visual inspection device to detect impurities that accidentally enter the material. When impurities are detected, the threaded column drives the brush to sweep the raw material with impurities on the conveyor belt through the gap into the mounting shell and discharge it from the bottom. It is then added back into the sorting component for separation. Through secondary precise removal of impurities, impurities in the raw material are safely removed.
[0016] Other advantages, objectives and features of this invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows; and in part will be apparent to those skilled in the art upon examination of the following description; or may be taught from practice of this invention.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0025] Reference Figure 1-5 An intelligent sorting system includes a housing 1. Inside the housing 1, a sorting component 2 for preliminary removal of impurities is installed. The sorting component 2 includes a feeding box 201 and a discharge plate 202 for the material to slide obliquely. The feeding box 201 and the discharge plate 202 are both fixedly assembled inside the housing 1. Inside the housing 1, a storage box 203 is fixedly assembled. Multiple fans 204 are fixedly connected to the side of the housing 1 away from the storage box 203. An obliquely arranged separation plate 205 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. Two one-way exhaust valves 8 are fixedly assembled on the upper surface of the storage box 203 and the upper surface of the housing 1.
[0026] Understandably, by operating multiple fans 204, air is supplied to the discharge plate 202. Under the action of two one-way exhaust valves 8, the air is discharged, thereby forming an airflow circulation within the discharge plate 202. The raw material falling from the discharge box 201 through the discharge plate 202 is blown into the storage box 203. Since the density of hard impurities is greater than that of the raw material, the air force carries the raw material into the storage box 203, while the hard impurities slide down through the separation plate 205 and are discharged through the discharge port 10, achieving the purpose of preliminary removal.
[0027] Specifically, a mounting shell 3 is provided below the housing 1. The bottom of the mounting shell 3 has an angled opening structure. Inside the mounting shell 3, a conveying assembly 4 for conveying raw materials is provided. The conveying assembly 4 includes two conveying rollers 401 and a conveyor belt 402 for conveying raw materials. Both conveying rollers 401 are rotatably connected inside the mounting shell 3 through bearings. Both conveying rollers 401 are connected by transmission through the conveyor belt 402. One of the conveying rollers 401 is driven to rotate by a drive motor. There are gaps between the two sides of the conveyor belt 402 and the inner wall of the mounting shell 3. A guide plate is provided at the tail of the conveyor belt 402 and is fixedly connected to the tail of the mounting shell 3.
[0028] It is understandable that the conveyor roller 401 is driven to rotate, thereby causing the conveyor belt 402 to roll and transport the raw materials. By setting gaps, it is easy for the raw materials on the conveyor belt 402 to fall into the mounting shell 3.
[0029] Specifically, a visual inspection device 5 for detecting impurities in raw materials is provided on the side of the housing 1. The visual inspection device 5 distinguishes between raw materials and impurities by recognizing colors. Its working principle mainly utilizes several key steps such as optics, image capture, image processing and analysis. Its core is to convert color information into analyzable digital signals, thereby recognizing and distinguishing different colors. A removal component 6 for secondary removal of impurities is provided on the surface of the mounting shell 3. The removal component 6 includes a threaded post 601 and a brush 602 for cleaning impurities. The brush 602 is threadedly connected to the surface of the threaded post 601. The threaded post 601 is rotatably connected to the surface of the support frame 603 through a bearing. The support frame 603 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the mounting shell 3. A limiting block for preventing the brush 602 from rotating is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the brush 602. The limiting block slides on the surface of the support frame 603.
[0030] Understandably, the vision inspection device 5 detects impurities that may accidentally enter the material. When an impurity is detected, the drive motor rotates the threaded column 601, which in turn drives the brush 602 to sweep the raw material containing impurities from the conveyor belt 402 through the gaps into the mounting housing 3, where it is discharged from the bottom and added back to the sorting component 2 for separation. Through this secondary precise removal of impurities, the impurities in the raw material are safely removed.
[0031] Specifically, an arc-shaped plate 7 for flattening the raw material on the surface of the conveyor belt 402 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the box 1.
[0032] It is understandable that by setting the arc plate 7, the material falling onto the surface of the conveyor belt 402 can be evenly spread out, making it easier for the visual inspection device 5 to identify impurities.
[0033] Specifically, the storage bin 203 is equipped with a screw conveyor 9 for uniform material discharge. The screw conveyor 9 includes a screw auger and a drive motor. The screw auger is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the storage bin 203 through bearings and is driven to rotate by the drive motor.
[0034] It is understandable that by setting up the screw conveyor 9, it is easier to make the screw conveyor evenly push the raw materials in the storage box 203 onto the surface of the conveyor belt 402.
[0035] Specifically, a magnetic block 11 for attracting iron filings is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting shell 3.
[0036] It is understandable that by setting up the magnetic block 11, it is easier to adsorb iron filings in the raw material.
[0037] Specifically, a discharge port 10 is provided on the lower surface of the box body 1.
[0038] Understandably, by setting up the discharge port 10, it is easier to discharge the separated hard impurities from the box.
[0039] In this invention, the pulverized raw materials are gradually added to the feed hopper 201, and then conveyed to the surface of the separating plate 205 through the feed inlet and discharge plate 202. A fan 204 generates airflow that blows the lighter materials upwards through the separating plate, sending them to the storage hopper 203, while heavier impurities naturally fall to the surface of the discharge plate 10 and are discharged. However, during this process, the airflow cannot completely separate the raw materials from the impurities; a small amount of hard impurities will follow the raw materials into the storage hopper 203. The screw conveyor 9 then evenly pushes the raw materials onto the surface of the conveyor belt 402, allowing the conveyor to... The conveyor belt 402 transports the raw materials. Under the action of the arc plate 7, the raw materials are evenly pushed onto the surface of the conveyor belt 402, which facilitates the visual inspection device 5 to inspect the raw materials. When impurities are found, the drive motor drives the threaded column 601 to rotate, causing the brush 602 to move on the surface of the conveyor belt 402. The raw materials with impurities are swept through the gaps into the mounting shell 3 and discharged from the bottom. At the same time, under the action of the magnetic block, iron filings mixed in with the raw materials are adsorbed. The raw materials without impurities are discharged through the guide plate at the end of the conveyor belt 402 for the next processing step.
