[0002] Biomass refers to all living, growing organic matter produced through photosynthesis from the atmosphere, water, and land. It includes all plants, microorganisms, animals that feed on plants and microorganisms, and their waste products. Representative biomass includes crops, crop waste, wood, wood waste, and animal manure.

[0003] Currently, after eucalyptus, fir, pine, and bamboo trees are felled, a large number of branches are left abandoned in forests. If they are to be reused, they need to be collected. However, after collection, different parts of the branches need to be sorted if they are to be used in different ways. The most common sorting method is manual sorting, but manual sorting is costly and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0025] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 5 The present invention provides an intelligent sorting device for renewable biomass, comprising: a conveyor 1 and a controller 2 fixedly installed on one side thereof, wherein the controller 2 is a PLC controller and is connected to an external computer system to facilitate data feedback to the computer.

[0028] The identification mechanism is installed on the conveyor 1. The identification mechanism includes a support frame 3 fixedly installed on the top of one end of the conveyor 1, a microprocessor 4 fixedly installed on one side of the support frame 3, and an identification module 5 installed in the support frame 3. The microprocessor 4 has a built-in AI identification system, and the identification module 5 can be a camera or a 3D laser scanner, etc., which can scan the branches to form images for analysis of their species.

[0029] A multi-group sorting mechanism is provided on the conveyor 1. The sorting mechanism includes three support frames 2 6 that are fixedly installed on the top of the conveyor 1 and are evenly distributed along its length direction, an infrared sensor 8 that is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the support frame 2 6, and a pushing component provided on the support frame 2 6.

[0030] And a collection box 7 fixedly installed on one side of the conveyor 1 and corresponding to the multi-group sorting mechanism, wherein the collection box 7 can be replaced by a conveyor belt so as to transport the sorted branches of different types to different areas.

[0031] The conveyor 1, the identification mechanism, and the sorting mechanism are all electrically connected to the controller 2. The conveying speed of the conveyor 1 is adapted to the identification mechanism and the sorting mechanism.

[0032] The technical solution provided in this embodiment is as follows: In use, the branches are conveyed by the conveyor 1. When the branches pass the support frame 3, the identification module 5 scans them, and the microprocessor 4, combined with AI, identifies and analyzes the branches to determine their species, such as eucalyptus, cedar, and pine. The analysis data is promptly fed back to the controller 2. After identification, the branches continue to be conveyed, passing through three support frames 6 in sequence (for clarity, the three support frames 6 can be divided into eucalyptus group, cedar group, and pine group from left to right). Simultaneously, the infrared sensor 8 on the support frame 6 re-detects the branches. The infrared sensors 8 on the eucalyptus and fir groups determine the type and lock the position. When a branch moves to the corresponding group, for example, if the identified branch is a pine branch, the infrared sensors 8 on the eucalyptus and fir groups will sequentially determine and track the position of the branch and feed it back to the controller 2. When the branch moves to the pine group, the controller 2 controls the pushing component of the pine group to move the branch out of the conveyor 1 and drop it into the collection box 7 at the corresponding position for collection. Therefore, the effect of quickly sorting different types of branches is achieved, avoiding the low efficiency and high labor intensity of manual sorting, saving a lot of labor costs, and effectively improving the efficiency and effect of sorting work.

[0033] Furthermore, the pushing component includes a telescopic cylinder 9 fixedly installed on one side of the support frame 2 6 and whose output end moves through the support frame 2 6, a push plate 10 fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder 9, and a rubber pad 11 fixedly installed on one side of the push plate 10.

[0034] Specifically, during the branch conveying and identification process, three infrared sensors 8 can be used to determine the type of branch and track its position. When the branch is conveyed to the corresponding position, the infrared sensor 8 at the corresponding position will send a signal to the controller 2, which will then control the telescopic cylinder 9 to extend. This will push the branch out of the conveyor 1 via the push plate 10 and drop it into the corresponding collection box 7 for collection. The rubber pad 11 can also reduce the impact force of the push plate 10, thus protecting the branch.

[0035] Furthermore, the identification mechanism also includes an adjustment component mounted on the support frame 3 for adjusting the height of the identification module 5.

[0036] The adjustment components include a threaded rod 12 that is threaded through and connected to the top of the support frame 3, a mounting plate 13 that is rotatably connected to the bottom of the threaded rod 12, a guide rod 14 that is fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the mounting plate 13 and slidably connected to the support frame 3, and a rotating block 15 that is fixedly installed at the top of the threaded rod 12. The identification module 5 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting plate 13.

[0037] Specifically, by rotating the rotating block 15 to drive the threaded rod 12 to rotate, the mounting plate 13 can move up and down under the sliding limit of the guide rod 14, thereby adjusting the height position of the recognition module 5. This allows for flexible adjustment according to requirements and helps ensure the clarity and recognition range of the recognition module 5.

[0038] Example 2

[0039] Based on Embodiment 1, in this embodiment: the conveyor 1 is provided with a cleaning mechanism for cleaning surface impurities, and the cleaning mechanism and the controller 2 are electrically connected.

[0040] The cleaning mechanism includes a cleaning box 16 fixedly installed at the bottom of one end of the conveyor 1, a U-shaped movable frame 17 rotatably connected between the two sides of the inner wall of the cleaning box 16, a cleaning roller 18 detachably rotatably connected to the end of the U-shaped movable frame 17, and a motor 19 fixedly installed on one side of the cleaning box 16. The output end of the motor 19 is movably inserted into the cleaning box 16 and connected to the U-shaped movable frame 17. The cleaning roller 18 can be a brush roller.

[0041] A collection box 20 is slidably connected to the inner bottom wall of the cleaning box 16, and a slot is provided on one side of the cleaning box 16 to facilitate the pulling out of the collection box 20.

[0042] The technical solution provided in this embodiment is as follows: When it is necessary to clean surface impurities during the operation of conveyor 1, the controller 2 controls the motor 19 to start, which drives the U-shaped movable frame 17 to rotate at a certain angle, so that the cleaning roller 18 contacts the bottom of the surface of conveyor 1. As the conveyor 1 runs, the cleaning roller 18 can clean the impurities on its surface. At the same time, the cleaned impurities fall into the collection box 20 for collection. After sorting is completed, the collection box 20 can be pulled out to clean the collected impurities. This can avoid the surface of conveyor 1 being affected by impurities, which can help ensure the cleanliness of conveyor 1 and improve the sorting effect.

[0043] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
