[0035] As a preferred embodiment, the three sorting boxes 1, 17 and 20 are each provided with a material inlet 26 in the vertical direction. The material inlet 26 is located in a suitable area of ​​each sorting box, which will not affect the stability of the internal structure of the box, but can meet the needs of material transmission, realize the effective transfer of materials between different sorting boxes, and ensure the continuity of the entire sorting process.

[0036] In this embodiment, both the motor 4 and the blower body 8 are commercially available devices known to those skilled in the art. They can be customized or selected according to actual needs. Here, we are only using them and have not made any structural or functional improvements. We will not go into details here.

[0037] The working process of this utility model is as follows: First, the down to be separated is placed into the down conveying box 24. The down enters the first down separating box 1 through the down inlet pipe 23. Then, the motor 4 is started, and its output end drives the straightening shaft 5 to rotate. The straightening rod 6 rotates accordingly to straighten the incoming down. At the same time, the blower body 8 is started, and the airflow enters the first down separating box 1 through the air conveying pipe 9 and the air inlet pipe 10, which further disperses the down. Down of different qualities and sizes exhibits different movement states in the airflow due to their characteristics, thus achieving preliminary down separation. The down after preliminary separation passes through the first down separating box 1, the second down separating box 17, and the third down separating box 20. The down feathers are sequentially fed into the vertical feed inlets 26, each of which performs multi-stage fine sorting. After sorting, down feathers of different qualities are collected separately through the first collecting pipe 15, the second collecting pipe 18, and the third collecting pipe 21 into the first collecting box 16, the second collecting box 19, and the third collecting box 22 for classification and collection. Furthermore, during operation, the protective cover 25 on the outside of the motor 4 provides protection. The support plate 11 inside the blower housing 7 supports the air duct 9, while the strip-shaped heat dissipation holes 12 and the dustproof mesh 14 ensure heat dissipation for the blower body 8 and prevent dust from entering. The filter screen 3 filters impurities. This is the working principle of a down feather sorting machine with a smoothing function.
