The invention relates to a non-magnetic
metal classification technology, in particular to an aluminum
alloy classification device and method based on a double-excitation
eddy current array sensor, and the device comprises a
belt conveyor, two stand columns, two cross beams, a transparent supporting plate, a correlation type photoelectric switch, an
eddy current array sensor, a
laser distance measuring sensor, a
signal generator, a
signal conditioner and an upper computer; the two stand columns are fixed to the ground on the two sides of the
belt conveyor respectively. The head ends of the two cross beams are fixed to the upper ends of the two stand columns respectively. The transparent supporting plate is horizontally fixed between the
tail ends of the two cross beams; an emitter and a
receiver of the correlation type photoelectric switch are respectively fixed on the side surfaces of the two upright posts; the
eddy current array sensor comprises four coils which are horizontally fixed on the upper surface of the transparent supporting plate and are arranged in a rhombus shape; the
laser distance measuring sensor is fixed on the upper surface of the transparent supporting plate. The problem that the classification accuracy is low when an existing non-magnetic
metal classification technology is applied to aluminum
alloy classification is solved, and the method is suitable for aluminum
alloy classification.
