[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0016] 1. This utility model, through the installation of a nut size sorting machine, uses a motor to rotate a striking head while the nuts are being sorted. The rotating striking head causes a baffle to move, which in turn causes a sliding cylinder to move. The sliding cylinder then causes a connecting rod to move, which in turn causes a spring to move. The spring then causes the connecting rod to move through a third port, which in turn causes a dispersing rod to move. The dispersing rod disperses the nuts and prevents them from piling up, thus achieving a nut size sorting machine that quickly disperses the nuts and improves sorting efficiency.
[0017] 2. This utility model utilizes a feeding device where nuts fall from the conveyor channel onto the buffer pad surface. The weight of the nuts causes the support plate to move, which in turn moves the rubber connecting block. This movement of the rubber connecting block causes the support plate to move the T-shaped frame, which in turn moves the No. 5 sliding sleeve. This movement of the No. 5 sliding sleeve causes the T-shaped frame to move the No. 5 spring, which in turn causes the buffer pad and support plate to vibrate slightly, allowing the nuts to be discharged quickly and reducing the impact force when the nuts fall. This achieves the function of quickly discharging the nuts after sorting by the nut size sorting machine, reducing the impact force when the nuts fall, and improving the integrity of the nuts.

After the nuts fall from the conveyor 6 onto the surface of the buffer pad 7, their weight drives the support plate 25 to move. The movement of the support plate 25 causes the rubber connecting block 24 to move. The movement of the rubber connecting block 24 causes the support plate 25 to drive the T-shaped frame 23 to move. The movement of the T-shaped frame 23 causes the fifth sliding sleeve 21 to move. The movement of the fifth sliding sleeve 21 causes the T-shaped frame 23 to drive the fifth spring 22 to move.

This realizes the function of quickly discharging the nuts after sorting by the nut size sorting machine and reducing the impact force of the falling nuts to improve the integrity of the nuts.
[0030] Working principle: After the nuts are poured onto the surface of conveyor belt 4, they are transferred to the surface of conveyor belt 5. The nuts are then sorted by size using a stepped arrangement and varying openings on the three conveyor belts 5. The sorted nuts are discharged through conveyor channel 6. Simultaneously, motor 11 rotates, driving the striking head 15 to rotate. The striking head 15 moves the baffle 14, which in turn moves the sliding cylinder 13. The sliding cylinder 13 then moves the connecting rod 18, which in turn moves the spring 17. The spring 17 then causes the connecting rod 18 to move through port 16, which in turn moves the dispersing rod 19. The dispersing rod 19 then... The nuts are dispersed to prevent clumping, thus improving the sorting efficiency of the nut size sorting machine. After the nuts fall from the conveyor 6 onto the surface of the buffer pad 7, their weight drives the support plate 25 to move. The movement of the support plate 25 causes the rubber connecting block 24 to move, which in turn causes the support plate 25 to move the T-shaped frame 23. The movement of the T-shaped frame 23 causes the fifth sliding sleeve 21 to move, which in turn causes the T-shaped frame 23 to move the fifth spring 22. The movement of the fifth spring 22 causes the buffer pad 7 and the support plate 25 to vibrate slightly, allowing the nuts to be discharged quickly and reducing the impact force when the nuts fall. This achieves the function of quickly discharging the nuts after sorting and reducing the impact force when the nuts fall, thus improving the integrity of the nuts.
