Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of material sorting, specifically to a sealing edge mechanism, a belt conveyor mechanism, and a sorting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In some material sorting scenarios, such as coal and ore sorting, the conveyor belt and its sidewalls form a material conveying channel. The width of the conveying channel can be adjusted according to the particle size of the incoming material, thereby maximizing the processing capacity of the sorter. However, when the conveyor belt sidewalls move, a gap remains between the top of the sidewalls and the sorter. Dust mixed in with the material can overflow from this gap and enter other external channels, causing dust leakage, air pollution, and reduced output of the ore sorter. Furthermore, during the transportation of materials such as coal and ore, the dust contains a large amount of coal and other pollutants; the dispersion of this dust leads to resource waste. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the problems existing in the related technology, the first aspect of the exemplary embodiments of this disclosure provides a sealing edge mechanism applied to a belt conveyor mechanism, wherein the sealing edge mechanism includes: a frame for covering the outside of the belt conveyor mechanism; two sets of edges extending along the length direction of the frame, the two sets of edges being arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the width direction inside the frame, and the distance between the two sets of edges being adjustable, the lower end of each set of edges being used to abut against the belt conveyor mechanism to prevent material conveyed on the belt conveyor mechanism from falling off; and two sets of sealing plates arranged along the extension direction of the edges, the upper end of which is connected to the frame and the lower end of which is connected to the edges, for preventing dust from overflowing.

[0004] In some embodiments, the sealing plate is connected to the upper side of the inner surface of the frame.

[0005] In some embodiments, the sealing plate is made of a flexible material that can deform itself as the edge moves.

[0006] In some embodiments, the sealing plate is made of a rigid material, with its upper end movably connected to the frame and its lower end fixedly connected to the retaining edge.

[0007] In some embodiments, the upper part of the sealing plate is made of a rigid material and its top end is fixedly connected to the frame; the lower part of the sealing plate is made of a flexible material, the upper end of which is connected to the rigid material and the lower end of which is fixedly connected to the edge, and it can deform itself following the movement of the edge.

[0008] In some embodiments, the retaining edge includes: a mounting plate, which has a plate-like structure; and a rubber sheet, which has a sheet-like structure, with the upper end of the rubber sheet connected to the mounting plate and the lower end of the rubber sheet used to abut against the belt transmission mechanism.

[0009] In some embodiments, the sealing edge mechanism further includes two sets of adjustment components, respectively connected to the mounting plates on both sides, for adjusting the distance between the mounting plates on both sides.

[0010] In some embodiments, the sealing edge mechanism further includes a nozzle disposed inside the frame for spraying gas or liquid onto the sealing plate to clean dust from the sealing plate.

[0011] Secondly, this disclosure also provides a belt conveyor mechanism, wherein the belt conveyor mechanism includes: a bracket; a roller, both ends of which are supported by the bracket; a belt, sleeved on the outside of the roller, for conveying materials; a sealing flange mechanism as described in the first aspect, wherein the flange is adjustablely installed on both sides of the belt for adjusting the width of the belt conveying materials; and the sealing plate is used to prevent dust from overflowing.

[0012] Thirdly, this disclosure also provides a sorting machine for material sorting, comprising: a belt conveyor mechanism as described in the second aspect for conveying materials; an identification mechanism for identifying the materials conveyed by the belt conveyor mechanism; and a sorting mechanism for sorting the materials according to the identification result of the identification mechanism.

[0013] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and are not intended to limit this disclosure.

[0014] This disclosure provides a sealing edge mechanism applicable to belt conveyors. It comprises two sets of edge protectors and two sets of sealing plates. The two sets of edge protectors directly abut against the belt, effectively preventing material from falling due to vibration, tilting, or accumulation deviation, reducing waste, ensuring conveying integrity, and improving conveying efficiency. The spacing between the two sets of edge protectors is adjustable to accommodate belts of different widths and materials of different particle sizes, enhancing the versatility of the sealing edge mechanism. The two sets of sealing plates can be connected to the frame and edge protectors respectively, forming a sealed structure that prevents dust generated by collisions and friction during material conveying from overflowing, reducing environmental pollution and increasing sorting output. Simultaneously, when the belt-transported material is coal or other recyclable ores, it improves ore collection efficiency and saves resources. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a sealing flange mechanism according to a disclosed exemplary embodiment;

[0017] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a sealing flange mechanism according to a disclosed exemplary embodiment. Detailed Implementation

[0018] The following describes specific embodiments of this disclosure. It should be noted that, in order to provide a concise description, this specification cannot exhaustively describe all features of the actual embodiments. It should be understood that, in the actual implementation of any embodiment, just as in any engineering or design project, various specific decisions are often made to achieve the developer's specific goals and to meet system-related or business-related constraints, and this can change from one embodiment to another. Furthermore, it is understood that although the efforts made in this development process may be complex and lengthy, for those skilled in the art related to the content of this disclosure, some design, manufacturing, or production modifications based on the technical content disclosed in this disclosure are merely conventional technical means and should not be construed as insufficient content of this disclosure.

[0019] Unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in the claims and description shall have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains. The terms "first," "second," and similar words used in the specification and claims of this utility model patent application do not indicate any order, quantity, or importance, but are merely used to distinguish different components. The terms "an" or "a" and similar words do not indicate a quantity limitation, but rather indicate the presence of at least one. The terms "comprising" or "including" and similar words mean that the element or object preceding "comprising" or "including" encompasses the element or object listed following "comprising" or "including" and its equivalents, and do not exclude other elements or objects.

[0020] In some scenarios, such as material sorting, conveyor belts can transport ores. Materials are detected by an X-ray emitting end positioned above the conveyor belt and a receiving end positioned below it to determine their category and thus perform sorting. In some related technologies, the X-ray emitting source is located in the middle, emitting X-rays in a fan shape, while the receiving end is located below the conveyor belt and extends along its width. For larger particles, if located at the edge of the conveyor belt's width, some may not be received by the receiving end due to their height, leading to sorting failure. To address this issue, one solution is to increase the width coverage of the receiving end, increasing costs, but this is difficult to achieve in limited space. Another solution is to reduce the width of the conveyor belt, but this results in lower sorting efficiency for small-particle batches of materials.

[0021] To accommodate different feed particle sizes and maximize processing capacity, some related technologies adjust the width of the conveyor channel by displacing the conveyor belt sidewalls. However, in ore sorting equipment, the amount of dust is significant, which may lead to dust leakage, causing not only air pollution but also the loss of coal and other dust particles, thereby reducing the output of the ore sorting machine and wasting resources.

[0022] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, exemplary embodiments of this disclosure provide a sealing flange mechanism, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, this can be applied to belt conveyor mechanisms. The belt conveyor mechanism may include a belt 200 and a support frame, and may be equipped with two or more rollers mounted on the support frame; the belt 200 may be fitted onto the rollers, and the belt 200 is conveyed by the rotation of the rollers. Sealing edge mechanisms may be provided on both sides of the belt 200 to prevent materials, dust, etc., from moving outwards from the belt 200.

[0023] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the sealing edge mechanism may include: a frame 110, two sets of edge blocks 120 and two sets of sealing plates 130.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the frame 110 can be installed on the outside of the belt conveyor mechanism, extending along the conveying direction of the belt 200. The frame 110 can be a shell, and its cross-section can be arc-shaped or rectangular, covering the belt 200. The frame 110 can form a certain sealing structure, confining the dust (such as dust generated by coal, ore, etc., scattered or frictionally) raised by the belt 200 during operation within a relatively enclosed space, preventing it from spreading to the external space, and ensuring the sealing and reliability of the equipment. The frame 110 can include a relatively flat inner surface to avoid dead corners where dust can easily accumulate, facilitating cleaning or a certain degree of collection.

[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, two sets of retaining edges 120 extend along the length of the frame 110. These two sets of retaining edges 120 can be arranged parallel to each other on both sides of the width direction inside the frame 110, and the distance between the two sets of retaining edges 120 is adjustable. The lower end of each set of retaining edges 120 can be used to abut against the belt conveyor mechanism to prevent material conveyed on the belt conveyor from falling off. The distance between the retaining edges 120 limits the width of material distribution, and by adjusting the distance between the retaining edges 120, the width of material distribution can be changed. This allows for adjustment of the width according to the particle size of the material, improving conveying efficiency while ensuring detection accuracy. Two sets of retaining edges 120 can be provided, and the overall shape can be elongated, extending along the length of the frame 110 (along the extension direction of the belt 200). Multiple retaining edges 120 can be provided, arranged sequentially and fixed along one side of the belt 200. Two sets of retaining edges 120 can be respectively set on both sides of the width direction of the belt 200, i.e., the internal width direction of the frame 110, and are arranged parallel to each other, symmetrically with respect to the side area of ​​the belt 200, ensuring full coverage of the width direction of the belt 200. The length of the retaining edges 120 can be the same as the length of the frame 110, covering the entire material conveying path. The spacing between the two retaining edges 120 can be flexibly adjusted to a suitable size according to the width of the belt 200 or the particle size of the material. The lower end of each set of retaining edges 120 directly abuts against the belt 200, blocking the material inside the belt 200, preventing the material from falling due to vibration, tilting, or deviation, reducing waste, and improving sorting efficiency. Furthermore, the adjustable spacing between the two sets of retaining edges 120 can be adapted to different scenarios, ensuring the stability of material conveying.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, two sets of sealing plates 130 can be respectively arranged along the extension direction of the baffle 120, with the upper end connected to the frame 110 and the lower end connected to the baffle 120, to prevent dust from overflowing. The sealing plates 130 can be sheet-like or plate-like in structure, and are continuously arranged along the extension direction of the baffle 120. Multiple sealing plates 130 can be provided, arranged sequentially along the extension direction of the baffle 120. The sealing plates 130 can be correspondingly arranged with the baffle 120. The sealing plates 130 are respectively connected to the frame 110 and the baffle 120. Since the lower end of the baffle 120 directly abuts against the belt 200, the three together form a sealing structure. The height of the sealing plates 130 can cover the space from the bottom of the upper surface of the frame 110 to the top of the baffle 120, and can completely cover the gap between the frame 110 and the baffle 120. The length of the sealing plate 130 can also be consistent with that of the side guard 120, extending along the entire transmission path of the belt 200 to provide complete protection against dust generated throughout the entire transmission process of the belt 200. The lower end of the sealing plate 130 is connected to the side guard 120, and the sealing plate 130 can move with the side guard 120 when the width between the two side guards 120 is adjusted. The sealing plate 130 can prevent the diffusion of dust from coal, ore, etc., and can effectively prevent dust generated by collision and friction during material transmission from overflowing the gap between the frame 110 and the side guard 120, thus reducing dust pollution.

[0027] In some embodiments, the sealing plate 130 can be detachably connected to the side guard 120 and fixedly connected to the frame 110. It can be disassembled when the separator is stopped, facilitating dust collection inside the separator and resulting in a simple structure. In some embodiments, the sealing plate 130 can be detachably connected to the frame 110 and fixedly connected to the side guard 120, also achieving dust collection inside the separator. When the sealing plate 130 needs replacement, it can be directly disassembled. In some embodiments, the sealing plate 130 can be detachably connected to both the side guard 120 and the frame 110. After the sealing plate 130 wears out, it can be directly replaced, resulting in a simple structure, quick replacement, and easy operation.

[0028] In this embodiment, a sealing edge mechanism is provided, which can be applied to a belt conveyor. It includes two sets of edge protectors 120 and two sets of sealing plates 130. The two sets of edge protectors 120 directly abut against the belt, effectively preventing material from falling due to vibration, tilting, or accumulation deviation, reducing waste, ensuring conveying integrity, and improving conveying efficiency. The spacing between the two sets of edge protectors 120 is adjustable to accommodate belts 200 of different widths and materials of different particle sizes, enhancing the versatility of the sealing edge mechanism. The two sets of sealing plates 130 can be connected to the frame 110 and the edge protectors 120 respectively, forming a sealed structure that prevents dust generated by collisions and friction during material conveying from overflowing, reducing environmental pollution and increasing sorting output. Simultaneously, when the material transported by the belt 200 is coal or other recyclable ores, it improves ore collection efficiency and saves resources.

[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the sealing plate 130 can be connected to the upper side of the inner surface of the frame 110. The sealing plate 130 is connected to the frame 110, and its upper end can be connected to the upper side of the inner surface of the frame 110. In this embodiment, by connecting the upper end of the sealing plate 130 to the upper side of the inner surface of the frame 110, the sealing plate 130 can hang downwards in a substantially vertical direction, preventing dust accumulation and allowing dust to fall into the inner side of the belt 200 for further sorting and other processes. In this embodiment, connecting the sealing plate 130 to the upper side of the inner surface of the frame 110 prevents dust accumulation on the sealing plate 130, facilitating cleaning. Furthermore, when the transported material is coal, ore, or other materials with recycling value, collecting dust into the inner side of the belt 200 saves resources and avoids waste.

[0030] In some embodiments, the sealing plate 130 can be made of a flexible material, capable of deforming itself as the flange 120 moves. The sealing plate 130 can be made of a flexible material such as rubber, possessing good ductility and resilience, allowing it to bend, stretch, and deform as the flange 120 moves, while maintaining structural integrity after deformation. Furthermore, the sealing plate 130 maintains a tight connection with the frame 110 and the flange 120 even when the flange 120 changes position, preventing gaps during adjustment that can occur with rigid connections, thus avoiding dust leakage. In this embodiment, the sealing plate 130 is made of a flexible material, allowing it to deform as the flange 120 moves, preventing seal failure and ensuring a complete seal. The flexible material also reduces hard friction with the flange 120 and the frame 110, extending the service life of the sealing plate 130 and improving the overall adaptability and dustproof reliability of the mechanism.

[0031] In some embodiments, the sealing plate 130 can be made of a rigid material, with its upper end movably connected to the frame 110 and its lower end fixedly connected to the side guard 120. The sealing plate 130 can be made of a rigid material such as a metal plate, and structurally can be a long strip extending along the direction of the side guard 120. The upper end of the sealing plate 130 can be movably connected to the frame 110 via a slide rail, slide groove, or other structure, allowing the sealing plate 130 to slide along the width direction of the frame. The lower end of the sealing plate 130 can be fixedly connected to the side guard 120 via bolts or other means, ensuring that the sealing plate 130 and the side guard 120 move synchronously. In this embodiment, the sealing plate 130 is made of a rigid material, which can withstand material impact to a certain extent, making it suitable for scenarios where material splashing may occur during conveying, thus improving the durability of the sealing plate 130 and extending its service life. The movable connection with the frame 110 and the fixed connection with the flange 120 ensure that the sealing plate 130 is always in close contact with the frame 110 and the flange 120 when the flange 120 is adjusted, which can maintain a stable dustproof effect, is suitable for high-frequency adjustment conditions, and enhances the reliability and applicability of the sealing plate 130.

[0032] In some embodiments, the upper part of the sealing plate 130 can be made of rigid material, and its top end is fixedly connected to the frame 110; the lower part of the sealing plate 130 is made of flexible material, with its upper end connected to the rigid material and its lower end fixedly connected to the flange 120, and capable of deforming itself as the flange 120 moves. The upper part of the sealing plate 130 is made of rigid material, and the lower part is made of flexible material. The rigid material portion can account for 30% to 50%, and the flexible portion covers the remaining area, ensuring that the gap between the frame 110 and the flange 120 is completely covered. The upper part of the rigid material can be fixedly connected to the frame 110, such as by bolts, to ensure the stability of the connection and prevent deformation due to vibration. The lower part of the flexible material can deform, with its upper end fixedly connected to the rigid portion, such as by adhesive or riveting, and its lower end fixedly connected to the flange 120, capable of bending, stretching, and other deformations as the flange 120 moves, and the deformation does not affect the sealing function. The rigid upper part can be fixedly connected to the frame 110 to prevent dust from overflowing from the upper gap and provide a stable basic seal; the flexible lower part can move with the baffle 120 through deformation, always maintaining a tight connection with the baffle 120, avoiding gaps when the baffle 120 is adjusted, while also sealing the gap in the middle and lower parts.

[0033] In this embodiment, the upper part of the sealing plate 130 is made of rigid material and the lower part is made of flexible material. The two are combined. The rigid material is more stable and the flexible material is adaptable to various situations. It solves the problem that the pure rigid plate is prone to breakage or gaps when the baffle 120 moves, and avoids the disadvantage that the upper connection of the pure flexible plate is prone to loosening. It can maintain a complete seal during the adjustment of the baffle 120, effectively preventing dust from overflowing, while extending the service life of the sealing plate, improving the dustproof reliability and adaptability of the mechanism under complex working conditions, and has a simple structure, saves costs and is easy to implement.

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the edge guard 120 may include: mounting plate 121 and rubber 122.

[0035] Mounting plate 121, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it can be a plate-like structure. It extends along the belt conveying direction and is located above the outer edge of the belt 200. The mounting plate 121 can be folded, has high strength and hardness, and can be a sheet metal part, etc., capable of withstanding the impact of large materials.

[0036] Rubber 122, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the rubber sheet 122 can be in sheet form. The upper end of the rubber sheet 122 can be connected to the mounting plate 121, and the lower end of the rubber sheet 122 is used to abut against the belt conveyor mechanism. The sheet rubber sheet 122 can be 5-10 mm thick and has good wear resistance, elasticity, and load-bearing capacity. The length of the rubber sheet 122 can be the same as the length of the mounting plate 121. Multiple rubber sheets 122 can be provided, and multiple rubber sheets 122 can be connected along the belt conveying direction, overlapping each other to ensure that multiple rubber sheets 122 form a sealed structure to prevent material spillage during material conveying. The rubber sheet 122 can be positioned on the side of the mounting plate 121 facing the belt 200 and fixed to the surface of the mounting plate 121, such as by bolt connection. To meet the length requirements of the belt 200, especially in cases of long conveying distances, each rubber sheet 122 is arranged sequentially along the belt conveying direction, and they can overlap or be spaced apart. For example, in an ore sorting machine, the identification mechanism needs to identify the ore on the belt 200, thus requiring a certain conveying distance. Since the belt 200 is relatively long, arranging multiple rubber sheets 122 sequentially can reduce costs and facilitate replacement. The multiple rubber sheets 122 can be arranged sequentially along the belt conveying direction, with adjacent rubber sheets 122 connected to each other and secured together by connectors. Connectors can be belt bolts, etc., ensuring the strength and durability of the connectors.

[0037] In this embodiment, the retaining edge 120 can be configured as a mounting plate 121 and a rubber sheet 122. The mounting plate 121 is a folded sheet metal part that can ensure structural strength to adapt to harsh working conditions such as large materials and high-frequency impacts. The rubber sheet 122 can effectively prevent materials from falling outwards and effectively prevent dust and particulate matter from spilling out of the belt 200 during material transmission, avoiding material jamming, reducing the probability of failure, improving the overall strength of the retaining edge 120, and making it resistant to impacts from large materials. This improves transmission efficiency, increases material sorting output, increases the stability of the entire sealed retaining edge mechanism, extends service life, provides good sealing, avoids environmental pollution, and is conducive to increasing material sorting output.

[0038] In some embodiments, the sealing flange mechanism may further include: two sets of adjusting components (not shown in the figure), which can be connected to the mounting plates 121 on both sides respectively, for adjusting the distance between the mounting plates 121 on both sides. In some embodiments, the adjusting component can be a cylinder, with one end of the piston rod connected to the mounting plate 121 and one end of the cylinder body connected to the frame 110, for adjusting the distance between the mounting plates 121 on both sides. In some embodiments, the adjusting component can be a sleeve rod, with one end of the first sleeve rod connected to the mounting plate 121 and one end of the second sleeve rod connected to the frame 110, and the first sleeve rod and the second sleeve rod can be slidably connected to adjust the distance between the mounting plates 121 on both sides. In other embodiments, the adjusting component can be a gear and rack structure, with both ends of the rack connected to the mounting plate 121 and the frame 110 respectively, and rotating the gear can adjust the distance between the mounting plate 121 and the frame 110.

[0039] In this embodiment, the two sets of adjustment components of the sealing edge mechanism are respectively connected to the mounting plates 121 on both sides, which can improve the adaptability and operational flexibility of the sealing edge mechanism. The spacing between the mounting plates 121 on both sides can be flexibly changed by adjusting the components, so that the mechanism can be adapted to belt conveyor mechanisms of different widths, or the protection range can be adjusted according to material specifications (such as particle size and stacking width) without replacing the overall structure, greatly enhancing the versatility of the scenario, and also providing a certain sealing effect.

[0040] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the sealing edge mechanism may further include a nozzle 140, which can be disposed inside the frame 110, for spraying gas or liquid onto the sealing plate 130 to clean dust on the sealing plate 130. The nozzle 140 can be disposed on the inner side of the frame 110 and can spray gas or liquid toward the sealing plate 130. The sprayed gas can be compressed air, and the sprayed liquid can be water, etc. When the sorting machine is not in operation, the sprayed gas or liquid can directly act on the surface of the sealing plate 130, which can effectively remove the dust accumulation on the sealing plate 130 due to material transport. This avoids wear, blockage, or deformation of the sealing plate 130 surface caused by long-term dust adhesion. Especially for flexible sealing plates, it can reduce the damage to the elasticity of the dust hardening, maintain the tight fit between the sealing plate 130 and the frame 110 and the edge 120, and ensure sealing performance. Furthermore, the nozzle can eliminate the need for frequent manual disassembly and cleaning. Cleaning can be completed by timed or automatic spraying, reducing labor costs and adapting to the needs of continuous operation of belt conveyor mechanisms. Meanwhile, the flexible selection of gas or liquid can adapt to different working conditions: gas cleaning is suitable for dry environments, avoiding liquid residue from affecting the equipment; liquid cleaning is more thorough in cleaning stubborn dust, which can enhance adaptability. In the embodiments of this disclosure, the nozzle 140 can clean the sealing plate 130, which can ensure the sealing plate seals for a long time, extend the service life of the sealing plate 130, reduce failures caused by dust accumulation, and improve the stability and durability of the entire sealing edge mechanism.

[0041] Based on the same inventive concept, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure also provides a belt conveyor mechanism, which may include: a bracket, a roller, a belt 200, and the sealing edge mechanism in the foregoing embodiments.

[0042] A support bracket, which provides support, is located below the belt 200. The two ends of the rollers can be supported by the frame; there can be one or more rollers. The belt 200 is fitted over the rollers, and the rotational movement of the rollers drives the belt 200 to transport materials.

[0043] The sealing edge mechanism can include two sets of edges 120 and two sets of sealing plates 130. The two sets of edges 120 directly abut against the belt, effectively preventing material from falling due to vibration, tilting, or accumulation deviation, reducing waste, ensuring conveying integrity, and improving transmission efficiency. The spacing between the two sets of edges 120 is adjustable to accommodate belts 200 of different widths and materials of different particle sizes, enhancing the versatility of the sealing edge mechanism. The two sets of sealing plates 130 can be connected to the frame and the edges respectively, forming a sealed structure that prevents dust generated by collisions and friction during material transmission from overflowing, reducing environmental pollution and increasing sorting output. At the same time, when the material transported by the belt 200 is coal or other ores with recycling value, it can improve ore collection efficiency and save resources.

[0044] Based on the same inventive concept, an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure also provides a sorting machine that can be used for material sorting, including: a belt conveyor mechanism, an identification mechanism, and a sorting mechanism as described in any of the foregoing embodiments.

[0045] Belt conveyor mechanisms are used to transport materials. These mechanisms can be conveyor belts, etc., and materials can be placed on them and transported to an identification device.

[0046] The identification mechanism can be used to identify the materials being conveyed by the belt conveyor.

[0047] A sorting mechanism is used to sort materials based on the identification results of an identification device. The sorting mechanism can be installed downstream of a belt conveyor. It can separate materials according to their category, thus separating different types of materials.

[0048] The sorting machine according to the embodiments of this disclosure can transport materials via a belt conveyor mechanism, facilitating identification and classification by the identification mechanism. Based on the identification and classification of materials by the identification mechanism, different types of materials are finally sorted by the sorting mechanism, enabling accurate and rapid classification and sorting of the materials to be tested, with high identification and sorting accuracy. The sealing and baffle mechanism includes two sets of baffles 120 and two sets of sealing plates 130. The two sets of baffles 120 directly abut against the belt, effectively preventing material from falling due to vibration, tilting, or accumulation deviation, reducing waste, ensuring conveying integrity, and improving transmission efficiency. The spacing between the two sets of baffles 120 is adjustable to accommodate belts 200 of different widths and materials of different particle sizes, enhancing the versatility of the sealing and baffle mechanism 100. The two sets of sealing plates 130 can be connected to the frame and the baffles respectively, forming a sealed structure that prevents dust generated by collisions and friction during material transmission from overflowing, reducing environmental pollution and increasing sorting output. At the same time, when the material transported by the belt 200 is coal or other ores with recycling value, it can improve ore collection efficiency and save resources.
