[0023] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0024] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0025] Example 1: Refer to Figure 1 - Figure 5As shown: A material distribution device for a screw conveyor includes a screw conveyor body 1. A frame 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the screw conveyor body 1. A material box 4 is bolted to one side of the frame 5. A material distribution mechanism is provided above the material box 4. The material distribution mechanism includes a control box 2, an image recognition module 8, and a distributor 10. A detection plate 7 is slidably connected to one side of the control box 2. The image recognition module 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the detection plate 7. The image recognition module 8 is electrically connected to the control box 2. A discharge port 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the distributor 10. The top of the discharge port 9 is fixedly connected to the screw conveyor body 1. A baffle plate 14 is rotatably connected inside the distributor 10. Guide blocks 17 are provided on both sides of the baffle plate 14. The guide blocks 17 are slidably connected to the distributor 10. A connecting frame 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the guide block 17. A hydraulic cylinder 18 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting frame 13. One side of the hydraulic cylinder 18 is fixedly connected to the distributor 10.

[0026] A hydraulic cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the detection plate 7. A reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the top of the hydraulic cylinder 6. One side of the reinforcing plate is fixedly connected to the control box 2. An internal plate 20 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the distributor 10. One side of the internal plate 20 overlaps with the baffle plate 14. One side of the baffle plate 14 passes through the side wall of the distributor 10 and is fixedly connected to a gear 19. One side of the gear 19 is rotatably connected to the distributor 10. One side of the gear 19 meshes with a gear 21. One side of the gear 21 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 22. One side of the servo motor 22 is fixedly connected to the distributor 10.

[0027] The control box 2 is supported by the screw conveyor body 1 and frame 5. The detection plate 7 is raised and lowered by hydraulic cylinder 6, allowing adjustment of the working height of the detection plate 7 and image recognition module 8. During the raising and lowering of the detection plate 7, the control box 2 guides the plate, improving its stability. The image recognition module 8 at the bottom of the detection plate 7 quickly identifies the material conveyed inside the screw conveyor body 1, facilitating rapid switching of the baffle plate 14. The discharge port 9 connects to the distributor 10, guiding the material into the distributor. The distributor 10 also supports one side of the servo motor 22, improving its stability. 22. Stability during use: Gear 19 can be driven to rotate by gear 21. Through the connection between gear 19 and baffle 14, synchronous rotation of gear 19 and baffle 14 can be achieved. L-shaped connecting frame 13 can connect hydraulic cylinder 2 18 and guide block 17. Thus, the position of guide block 17 inside distributor 10 can be adjusted by the extension or retraction of hydraulic cylinder 2 18. One side of guide block 17 penetrates the side wall of distributor 10, which can reduce the interference of distributor 10 on the movement of guide block 17. Built-in plate 20 can limit the movement range of guide block 17. Then, through the overlap of built-in plate 20 and guide block 17, the passages on the left and right sides inside the material box 4 are closed.

[0028] Example 2: Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a support frame 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the distributor 10, and the support frame 3 is fixedly connected to the screw conveyor body 1 on one side. A partition 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the material box 4, which divides the inside of the material box 4 into multiple storage chambers. A fixing plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the material box 4, and a temperature and humidity sensor 15 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 12. The temperature and humidity sensor 15 is electrically connected to the control box 2. A vibration motor 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the material box 4, and the top of the material box 4 overlaps with the distributor 10.

[0029] The L-shaped support frame 3 can be used to connect the distributor 10 to the screw conveyor body 1, thereby reinforcing both sides of the distributor 10 and improving its stability during use. The partition plate 11 can be used to divide the storage space inside the material box 4, thereby avoiding mutual interference between materials in multiple storage chambers. The fixing plate 12 can be used to install the temperature and humidity sensor 15 on the top of the inner cavity of the material box 4. The temperature and humidity sensor 15 can detect the humidity of different types of materials, increasing the functionality of the entire device. The temperature and humidity sensor 15 can accelerate the vibration of the material box 4, thereby reducing the material residue inside the material box 4 and accelerating the discharge of materials.

[0030] The usage and working principle of this device are as follows: First, different molds can be placed below the three placement chambers of the material box 4. The material moves to the top of the discharge port 9 through the spiral blades inside the screw conveyor body 1. At this time, the hydraulic cylinder 6 drives the detection plate 7 to move down. The image recognition module 8 is used to identify the material inside the screw conveyor body 1. The identification result is sent to the control terminal through the processing module inside the control box 2. The control terminal opens the corresponding material flow path. At this time, after receiving the signal from the control terminal, the control box 2 starts the servo motor 22. The servo motor 22 drives the gear 21 to rotate. Through the meshing of the gear 21 and the gear 19, the gear 19 and the baffle plate 14 are driven to rotate. One end of the baffle plate 14 overlaps with the inner plate 20, and the other end is connected to the inner plate 20. The inner wall of the distributor 10 overlaps, interrupting the middle and right passages. At this time, the material can only enter the corresponding storage cavity in the material box 4 through the left passage. When the baffle plate 14 interrupts the middle and left passages, the material can enter the storage cavity on the right side of the material box 4. When the baffle plate 14 is in a vertical state, the guide block 17 is driven to move closer to the baffle plate 14 by the hydraulic cylinder 2 18. After the guide block 17 passes through the side wall of the distributor 10, it overlaps with one side of the built-in plate 20. At this time, the passages on both the left and right sides are closed. The material enters the storage cavity of the material box 4 from the middle passage formed by the two built-in plates 20, completing the material distribution. The image recognition module 8 includes a CMOS or CCD sensor, a lens, and a DSP chip, which can quickly recognize the captured image information.

[0031] When the material enters the material box 4, the temperature and humidity sensor 15 at the bottom of the fixed plate 12 can monitor the humidity of the corresponding material and send the detected signal to the control box 2. When the humidity is greater than the predetermined value, the temperature and humidity sensor 15 is activated to vibrate the material box 4, so that the material falls faster and reduces the material residue on the inner wall of the material box 4.

[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
