[0027] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: During use, the driver 38 drives the material distribution plate 37 to rotate, and then the center needles to be sorted (hereinafter referred to as workpieces) are intermittently thrown into the feeding hopper 36. At this time, the rotating material distribution plate 37 centrifugally throws the workpieces, so that the intermittently thrown workpieces are evenly scattered into multiple feeding detection tubes 31. During the process of the workpieces falling into the feeding detection tubes 31, the visual detector 393 performs quality detection on the workpieces. If the workpieces are qualified, the device does not intervene and lets the workpieces fall into the storage box 4. If the visual detector 393 detects that the workpieces are unqualified, the microcontroller (the use of microcontrollers is existing technology) controls the position adjustment component 30 to extend so that the guide plate 395 is inserted into the feeding detection tube 31. At this time, the workpieces fall into the waste collection box 2 through the guiding action of the guide plate 395, realizing the rapid sorting and classified storage of workpieces, and eliminating the time for fixing and transportation, thus improving the processing efficiency of the sorting device.
[0028] This invention utilizes the coordinated operation of multiple structures to disperse and feed materials to the central needle. Quality checks are then performed on the falling central needle, and the needles are sorted based on the results. This significantly improves the sorting speed of the sorting device and enhances the user experience. Furthermore, this invention features a warning function and is easy to handle. Additionally, its simple structure and ease of use make it worthy of promotion and application.
