Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of color sorting equipment technology, and in particular to a novel intelligent quality sorter. Background Technology
[0002] Color sorting equipment is a non-destructive sorting device that uses photoelectric principles to detect and classify bulk materials. The material to be sorted enters the machine from the top hopper, is fed into the observation area by a vibrator, and flows between the sensor and the background plate. The sensor detects the material based on its color, texture, shape, and other characteristics. When it detects discolored particles, the equipment sends a signal and uses an air jet device to remove the discolored particles.
[0003] However, in the field of color sorters, the sorting effect is poor when screening materials of the same or similar colors. In the field of plastic sorting, there are no corresponding small machines available for color sorting small-volume materials, and the sorting accuracy also needs to be improved.

[0022] 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.
[0023] 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.
[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a novel intelligent quality sorting instrument includes a frame 1. A support 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the frame 1. A belt conveyor 3 is mounted on the upper surface of the support 18. A feed pipe 17 is installed at the starting point of the upper surface of the belt conveyor 3, extending upwards and penetrating the top surface of the frame 1. A feed hopper 2 is fixed to the surface of the frame 1 at the feed inlet of the feed pipe 17. A sorting camera 5 and an auxiliary camera 10 are located near the end of the belt conveyor 3 within the frame 1, positioned at the upper right and lower left of the belt conveyor 3, respectively. A nozzle 7 is located below the auxiliary camera 10 within the frame 1. A receiving hopper 8 is located below the sorting camera 5 and at the same height as the nozzle 7 within the frame 1. A supplementary light 6 is installed between machine 5 and belt conveyor 3. The material falls into the discharge pipe 17 through the feed hopper 2 and slides down into the discharge pipe 17 to the starting position of the upper surface of the belt of belt conveyor 3. The material moves under the action of the belt of belt conveyor 3. When the material moves to the end of belt conveyor 3 and falls, it passes between sorting camera 5 and auxiliary camera 10. Under the supplementary light of supplementary light 6, sorting camera 5 and auxiliary camera 10 take pictures of both sides of the fallen material. The images of both sides of the material are quickly analyzed. High-speed airflow is sprayed from nozzle 7 to achieve material color sorting. The sorting camera 5 and auxiliary camera 10 used in this solution are common camera products for material color sorting on the market.
[0025] Both sides of the discharge pipe 17 are equipped with baffles 12. The two baffles 12 are symmetrically arranged and arranged along the length of the belt conveyor 3. Each of the two baffles 12 has a baffle plate 15 installed on its opposite side. One side of the baffle plate 15 extends to the end of the belt conveyor 3. The baffles 12 and baffle plates 15 can prevent the material flowing out of the discharge pipe 17 from falling from both sides of the belt conveyor 3, that is, ensure that the material can only be spilled from the end of the belt conveyor 3. In addition, with the length of the baffle 12 fixed, the position of the baffle plate 15 can be adjusted to accommodate belt conveyors 3 of different lengths.
[0026] Four fixing plates 11 are provided on the upper surface of the belt conveyor 3 frame. The four fixing plates 11 are arranged in pairs and located on opposite sides of two baffles 12. The top edge of the side of the fixing plate 11 has an upper slot 14. The baffles 12 are connected to the upper slot 14 by bolts. The bottom side of the fixing plate 11 has a lower slot 13. The belt conveyor 3 frame is connected to the lower slot 13 by bolts. Both the lower slot 13 and the upper slot 14 are rectangular. When the bolts pass through the lower slot 13 and the upper slot 14, the lower slot 13 and the upper slot 14 are rectangular. Therefore, before the bolts are tightened, the lower slot 13 allows the baffles 12 to slide horizontally and adjust the distance between the two baffles 12. Similarly, before the bolts are tightened, the upper slot 14 allows the baffles 12 to move vertically to adjust the pressure acting on the belt surface of the belt conveyor 3.
[0027] A connecting seat 16 is installed on the frame of the belt conveyor 3. The connecting seat 16 is detachably connected to the bracket 18, which facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the belt conveyor 3.
[0028] A display screen 4 is mounted on the surface of the frame 1 and several feet 9 are mounted on the bottom of the frame 1. The display screen 4 is electrically connected to each component inside the frame 1, which facilitates personnel control of the operation of each component inside the frame 1 and monitoring during operation.
[0029] Working principle: The material falls into the feed pipe 17 through the feed hopper 2 and slides down into the feed pipe 17 to the starting position of the upper surface of the belt of the belt conveyor 3. Under the action of the belt of the belt conveyor 3, the material moves to the end of the belt conveyor 3 and falls. The sorting camera 5 and the auxiliary camera 10 take pictures of both sides of the fallen material. The images of both sides of the material are quickly analyzed. The material is color sorted by spraying high-speed airflow from the nozzle 7.
[0030] The wiring diagrams of the belt conveyor 3, display screen 4, sorting camera 5, supplementary light 6, and auxiliary camera 10 in this utility model are common knowledge in the field. Their working principles are known technologies. The appropriate model is selected according to actual use. Therefore, the control methods and wiring layouts of the belt conveyor 3, display screen 4, sorting camera 5, supplementary light 6, and auxiliary camera 10 will not be explained in detail.
[0031] 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.
