For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0032] In one embodiment of this utility model, a modular high-speed sorting device is provided, including a frame 100, a conveying mechanism 200, a first optical separator 110, a first discharge unit 300, a second optical separator 120, a second discharge unit 400, and a third discharge conveyor belt 600. The conveying mechanism 200 is disposed within the frame 100 and is used to convey three types of mixed materials. The first optical separator 110 is disposed above the conveying mechanism 200 and is used to select the first type of material. The first discharge unit 300 includes a first receiving cover 310 and a first discharge conveyor belt 320. The first receiving cover 310 is located on one side of the first optical separator 110, and the first discharge conveyor belt 320 is connected to the lower side of the first optical separator 110. It is used to convey the first type of material selected by the first optical separator 110 to the first receiving cover 310 through an air jet device 500, and drop it onto the first discharge conveyor belt 320 to flow to the first discharge port. The second optical separator 120 is located on one side of the first discharge conveyor 320 and is used to select the second type of material in the conveying mechanism 200 that was not selected by the first optical separator 110. The second discharge unit 400 includes a second receiving cover 410 and a second discharge conveyor 420. The second receiving cover 410 is located on one side of the second optical separator 120, and the second discharge conveyor 420 is connected to the lower side of the second optical separator 120. It is used to transport the second type of material selected by the second optical separator 120 to the second receiving cover 410 through the jetting device 500, and drop it onto the second discharge conveyor 420 to flow to the second discharge port. The third discharge conveyor 600 is connected to the end of the conveying mechanism 200 and is used to transport the remaining third type of material to the third discharge port.
[0033] Specifically, optical separators are existing technology, and their functions and structures will not be elaborated upon further. Materials are sorted by the first optical separator 110. Selected materials of the first category are blown to the first discharge conveyor belt 320 via an air jet device 500. Unselected materials flow to the second optical separator 120 for further sorting. The second optical separator 120 blows selected materials of the second category to the second discharge conveyor belt via the same air jet device 500. The remaining unselected materials of the third category flow to the third discharge conveyor belt 600. Thus, this module can sort three categories of materials. By integrating two high-speed optical separators and their associated storage covers, discharge conveyors, and air jet devices 500 into the same frame module 100, a compact sorting unit is formed. This avoids the accuracy errors associated with dispersed installation on-site and significantly shortens the equipment deployment cycle. It also solves the technical pain points of traditional multi-stage sorting equipment, such as large size, difficult disassembly and assembly, and high maintenance costs.
[0034] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism 200 includes a first conveying unit 210 and a second conveying unit 220. The first conveying unit 210 includes a first conveying motor 211, a first conveying frame 212, and a first conveying track 213. The first conveying frame 212 is disposed on one side of the frame 100. Rotatable first conveying shafts 214 are provided on both sides of the first conveying frame 212. The two first conveying shafts 214 surround the first conveying track 213. The first conveying motor 211 is also provided on one side of the first conveying frame 212. The drive end of the first conveying motor 211 is connected to the adjacent first conveying shaft 214 to drive the first conveying shaft 214 to rotate the first conveying track 213. By driving the first conveying shaft 214 to rotate through the first conveying motor 211, the first conveying track 213 is driven to operate, conveying the mixed material from one side of the frame 100 to the optical sorting area. Similarly, the second conveying motor 221 drives the second conveying track 223, forming a bidirectional conveying path.
[0035] Furthermore, the jet device 500 includes a jet valve 510 and an airflow plate 520. The airflow plate 520 is connected to the lower side of the first conveying shaft 214. The airflow plate 520 has a plurality of nozzles 530 arranged in an array, and the jet valve 510 is connected to different nozzles 530. The jet valve 510 has an airflow port 540 at the position corresponding to the nozzle 530. The same jet device 500 is also provided on one side of the first conveying frame 212. Specifically, the jet valve 510 distributes high-pressure airflow to specific nozzles 530 within the airflow plate 520 through the airflow port 540. The optical sorter identifies and drives the corresponding nozzle 530 to open and spray airflow to convey materials on the conveyor belt, using the impact force of the airflow to separate target category workpieces.
[0036] Furthermore, the second conveying unit 220 includes a second conveying motor 221, a second conveying frame 222, and a second conveying track 223. The second conveying frame 222 is located on the other side of the frame 100. Both sides of the second conveying frame 222 are provided with rotatable second conveying shafts 224. The two second conveying shafts 224 surround the second conveying track 223. The second conveying frame 222 is also provided on one side of the second conveying motor 221. The driving end of the second conveying motor 221 is connected to the adjacent second conveying shaft 224 to drive the second conveying shaft 224 to rotate the second conveying track 223.
[0037] Furthermore, the first conveyor frame 212 is higher than the second conveyor frame 222, and a discharge ramp 230 connects the two. The discharge ramp 230 prevents material from accumulating and getting stuck, ensuring continuous conveying.
[0038] Furthermore, the first receiving cover 310 is provided with an inlet 311 and an outlet 312. The inlet 311 is located near the side of the first optical separator 110, and the outlet 312 is located near the side of the first discharge conveyor belt 320. The first receiving cover 310 is also provided with a diffuser hole 313. The first receiving cover 310 is equivalent to the second receiving cover 410. If the airflow flows directly out from the outlet 312, it will exert weight on the material, causing the material to rebound significantly after contacting the first discharge conveyor belt 320. The diffuser hole 313 design can reduce the airflow, so that the material falls onto the first discharge conveyor belt only under gravity, reducing rebound.
[0039] Furthermore, the first discharge conveyor belt 320 includes a first discharge motor 321, a first discharge frame 322, and a first discharge track 323; both sides of the first discharge frame 322 are provided with rotatable first discharge shafts 324, the two first discharge shafts 324 surround the first discharge track 323, and a first discharge motor 321 is also provided on one side of the first discharge frame 322. The drive end of the first discharge motor 321 is connected to the first discharge shaft 324 to drive the first discharge shaft 324 to drive the first discharge track 323 to rotate.
[0040] Furthermore, the second discharge conveyor belt 420 includes a second discharge motor 421, a second discharge frame 422, and a second discharge track 423; each side of the second discharge frame 422 is provided with a rotatable second discharge shaft 424, the two second discharge shafts 424 surround the second discharge track 423, and a second discharge motor 421 is also provided on one side of the second discharge frame 422. The drive end of the second discharge motor 421 is connected to the second discharge shaft 424 to drive the second discharge shaft 424 to rotate the second discharge track 423.
[0041] Furthermore, the modular high-speed sorting equipment is also equipped with a protective frame 130 on the outside.
[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
