[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:
[0006] A material conveying and sorting teaching platform includes a central control unit, a base, a mounting frame on the base, and a pneumatic control unit on the base. The mounting frame is equipped with a forward conveyor belt mechanism and a reverse conveyor belt mechanism. One end of the forward conveyor belt mechanism is connected to a power unit.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating unit is connected to the pneumatic control unit via an air guide pipe, so that the pneumatic control unit can drive the rotating unit to work.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model receives the identification information of the conveyed material from the photoelectric sensor through the central control unit, and controls the sorting mechanism to push the corresponding material to be sorted through the sorting channel into the reverse conveyor belt mechanism on one side of the forward conveyor belt mechanism.

[0022] The following is an example:
[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 The material conveying and sorting teaching platform shown includes a central control unit, a base 100, a mounting frame on the base 100, and a pneumatic control unit 200 on the base 100. The mounting frame is equipped with a forward conveyor belt mechanism 300 and a reverse conveyor belt mechanism 400. One end of the forward conveyor belt mechanism 300 is connected to a power unit 500. The reverse conveyor belt mechanism 400 is connected to the forward conveyor belt mechanism 300 via a transmission mechanism 600. The forward conveyor belt mechanism 300 and the reverse conveyor belt mechanism 400 are parallel and have baffles 700 on both sides. Two sorting channels 710 are formed in the baffle 700 between the forward conveyor belt mechanism 300 and the reverse conveyor belt mechanism 400. Two material distribution channels are provided on the side of the forward conveyor belt mechanism 300 away from the reverse conveyor belt mechanism 400. Mechanism 800, the feed end of the forward conveyor belt mechanism 300 is equipped with a photoelectric sensor 900, which is electrically connected to the main control unit. The photoelectric sensor 900 is preferably a color mark sensor. The power unit 500 is a brushed DC motor of model 45ZYT. A second belt drive device 650 is provided between the power unit 500 and the forward conveyor belt mechanism 300. The output end of the power unit 500 is keyed to the drive wheel of the belt drive mechanism 600. The driven wheel of the belt drive mechanism 600 rotates coaxially with the drive wheel of the forward conveyor belt mechanism 300 to drive the forward conveyor belt mechanism 300 to rotate. In addition, the forward conveyor belt mechanism 300 and the reverse conveyor belt mechanism 400 are both small belt conveyors, which are existing technologies and will not be described in detail.
[0024] As a further technical solution in this embodiment, such as Figure 2 The transmission mechanism 600 shown includes a drive gear 610 that is rotatably connected to the drive wheel of the forward conveyor belt mechanism 300, a transmission frame 620 mounted on the base 100, a driven gear 630 that is rotatably connected to the transmission frame 620, and a first belt drive device 640 mounted on one side of the reverse conveyor belt mechanism 400. The drive wheel of the first belt drive device 640 is rotatably connected to the driven gear 630, and the driven wheel of the first belt drive device 640 is rotatably connected to the drive wheel of the reverse conveyor belt mechanism 400.
[0025] As a further technical solution in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 The material distribution mechanism 800 shown includes a fixed frame 810 mounted on a mounting bracket, a rotating unit 820 mounted on the fixed frame 810, a rotating frame 830 mounted on the rotating unit 820, and a pusher guide belt 840 mounted on the rotating frame 830. Two pulleys 850 are rotatably connected to both ends of the rotating frame 830 via fixed axes. The pusher guide belt 840 is sleeved on the two pulleys 850. A drive unit 860 is provided on one side of the rotating frame 830. The rotating unit 820 is a rotary cylinder, and the rotating unit 820 is connected to the pneumatic control unit 200 via an air guide pipe for pneumatic control. Unit 200 drives the rotating unit 820 to work. The driving unit 860 is a brushed DC motor of model RS-555SH-2763R. The power output end of the driving unit 860 is keyed to one of the pulleys 850 to drive the pulley 850 to rotate, which in turn drives the pusher guide belt 840 to rotate. The rotation direction of the pusher guide belt 840 is opposite to the conveying direction of the forward conveyor belt mechanism 300. When the rotating unit 820 drives the sorting mechanism 800 to push the material to be sorted, it ensures that the sorting mechanism 800 is in effective contact with the material to be sorted and can successfully sort the material.
[0026] As a further technical solution in this embodiment, such as Figure 4 An electromagnetic clutch 310 is provided between the drive shaft and the drive gear 610 of the forward conveyor belt mechanism 300 shown. The electromagnetic clutch 310 is a DDL3-B type fast electromagnetic clutch 310. The input end of the electromagnetic clutch 310 is connected to the drive shaft of the forward conveyor belt mechanism 300, the output shaft of the electromagnetic clutch 310 is connected to the drive gear 610, the electromagnetic coil of the electromagnetic clutch 310 is electrically connected to the external power supply unit, and the electromagnetic coil of the electromagnetic clutch 310 is electrically connected to the power supply of the main control unit.
[0027] When this material conveying and sorting teaching platform is used for teaching demonstrations, the sorting task is to separate red material blocks from the conveyed green material blocks. In the central control unit, green is set as normal data information and red is sorting data information. The photoelectric sensor 900 set at the inlet end of the forward conveyor belt mechanism 300 identifies the red material block (in this embodiment, it is color recognition) and transmits the information of the red material block to the central control unit. The central control unit sends a signal to the pneumatic control unit 200 through the material distribution mechanism 800 set on the side of the forward conveyor belt mechanism 300. The rotating unit 820 rotates, driving the material distribution mechanism 800 to rotate. Simultaneously, the drive unit 860 of the material distribution mechanism 800 is activated, and the push guide belt 840 rotates, pushing the material to be sorted into the reverse conveyor belt mechanism 400, thus realizing the sorting.
