[0016] This invention also allows for the following: after the laser sensor detects the thickness of the bamboo tube, the bamboo tube continues to be conveyed backward. As the bamboo tube continues to be conveyed backward, the second electric telescopic rod is activated according to the different thicknesses of the bamboo tube. When the second electric telescopic rod is activated, it drives the push plate to move outward in a straight line. When the push plate moves outward in a straight line, it pushes the bamboo tube to the sorting side slide for sorting. At the same time, the bamboo tube can be conveyed to the sorting back slide by the main body of the conveyor belt for sorting, thereby realizing the simultaneous detection of the thickness of the bamboo tube and the facilitation of sorting the bamboo tube.

[0023] A loading ramp 3 is fixedly installed at the front end of the limiting side plate 2, and the loading ramp 3 is interconnected with the front end of the conveyor belt body 1. A control cabinet 4 is fixedly installed on the side end of the loading ramp 3. A lower U-shaped support frame 5 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the loading ramp 3. A drive motor 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom inner end of the lower U-shaped support frame 5. A transmission screw 7 is fixedly installed on the upper drive shaft of the drive motor 6. A first connecting plate 8 is threadedly connected to the upper outer curved surface of the transmission screw 7 through a screw nut. Two first limiting slide rods 9 are fixedly installed on both sides of the lower end of the first connecting plate 8. The first connecting plate 8 is symmetrically distributed on both sides of its lower end. The lower end of the first limiting slide rod 9 is connected to the lower end of the lower U-shaped support frame 5 through the first limiting slide rod 9, so that the first connecting plate 8 can be linearly moved and limited by the first limiting slide rod 9. The upper inclined surface of the feeding platform 3 is fixedly installed with a telescopic groove 10, and there are several telescopic grooves 10, which are symmetrically distributed on the upper inclined surface of the feeding platform 3. The inner wall of the telescopic groove 10 is connected to a deceleration baffle 11 for blocking and slowing down the bamboo tube. The bottom of the deceleration baffle 11 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the first connecting plate 8.
[0024] A U-shaped support frame 12 is fixedly installed on the front side of the upper end of the limiting side plate 2. A first electric telescopic rod 13 is fixedly installed through the middle of the upper end of the upper U-shaped support frame 12. A second connecting plate 14 is fixedly installed on the telescopic part of the lower end of the first electric telescopic rod 13. A second limiting slide rod 21 is fixedly installed on both sides of the upper end of the second connecting plate 14, and the upper end of the second limiting slide rod 21 is movably connected to the upper end of the upper U-shaped support frame 12, so that the second connecting plate 14 can be linearly limited by the second limiting slide rod 21. A blocking plate 15 for blocking and straightening the bamboo tube is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second connecting plate 14. A second limiting slide rod 15 is fixedly installed through the middle of the limiting side plate 2 on both sides. There are two laser sensors 16 used for thickness detection of bamboo tubes, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the middle of the limiting side plate 2. The rear sides of the limiting side plate 2 are fixedly connected to sorting side slides 17, and there are several sorting side slides 17, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the rear of the limiting side plate 2. The rear of the limiting side plate 2 is fixedly connected to a sorting rear slide 18. A second electric telescopic rod 19 is fixedly installed at the rear of the limiting side plate 2. A push plate 20 for sorting and pushing bamboo tubes is fixedly installed on the inner telescopic part of the second electric telescopic rod 19. The push plate 20 and the inner opening of the upper end of the sorting side slide 17 are on the same horizontal line.
[0025] Working principle: In use, this utility model places the bamboo tubes to be sorted onto the upper end of the feeding inclined platform 3. When the bamboo tubes are placed on the upper end of the feeding inclined platform 3, they will roll downwards under their own weight. When the bamboo tubes roll backwards, the deceleration baffle 11 will slow down and block them. When the deceleration baffle 11 slows down and blocks the bamboo tubes, the drive motor 6 is turned on to rotate in both directions. When the drive motor 6 rotates in both directions, it will drive the transmission screw 7 to rotate. When the transmission screw 7 rotates, it will drive the first connecting plate 8 to move up and down through the screw nut. When the first connecting plate 8 moves up and down, it will drive the deceleration baffle 11 to extend and retract along the telescopic groove 10. When the deceleration baffle 11 extends and retracts, the bamboo tubes blocked by the deceleration baffle 11 will gradually roll downwards to the front end of the conveyor belt body 1.
[0026] As the bamboo tube gradually rolls downwards to the front end of the conveyor belt body 1, the conveyor belt body 1 is activated by control. When the conveyor belt body 1 is activated, it will drive the bamboo tube to be conveyed backwards. When the bamboo tube is conveyed backwards, the first electric telescopic rod 13 is activated by control. When the first electric telescopic rod 13 is activated, it will drive the second connecting plate 14 to move downwards in a straight line. When the second connecting plate 14 moves downwards in a straight line, it will drive the blocking plate 15 to move downwards in a straight line. When the blocking plate 15 moves downwards in a straight line, it will straighten and block the bamboo tube being conveyed backwards, so that the bamboo tube remains horizontal while being conveyed backwards. When the bamboo tube remains horizontal, the blocking plate 15 is moved upwards in a straight line by control. When the blocking plate 15 moves upwards in a straight line, the horizontal bamboo tube will continue to be conveyed backwards. When the horizontal bamboo tube continues to be conveyed backwards, the thickness of the side end of the bamboo tube can be detected by the laser sensor 16. The laser sensor 16 can calculate the thickness of the bamboo tube by emitting a laser beam and receiving the reflected light signal, thereby realizing the thickness detection of the bamboo tube while it is being conveyed.
[0027] After the laser sensor 16 detects the thickness of the bamboo tube, the bamboo tube will continue to be conveyed backward. As the bamboo tube continues to be conveyed backward, the second electric telescopic rod 19 is activated according to the different thicknesses of the bamboo tube. When the second electric telescopic rod 19 is activated, it will drive the push plate 20 to move outward in a straight line. When the push plate 20 moves outward in a straight line, it will push the bamboo tube to the sorting side slide 17 for sorting. At the same time, the bamboo tube can be conveyed to the sorting back slide 18 through the conveyor belt body 1 for sorting, thereby realizing the thickness detection of the bamboo tube while facilitating the sorting of the bamboo tube.
