Referring to fig. 1 to 7, a method for controlling uniform feeding of a color sorter 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, wherein the color sorter 100 includes a feed hopper 2, a plurality of feeding channels 4, and a plurality of vibratory feeders 3, and the feed hopper 2 feeds materials to the plurality of feeding channels 4 through the plurality of vibratory feeders 3 in a one-to-one correspondence.
The method for controlling uniform feeding of the color sorter 100 according to the embodiment of the invention comprises the following steps: detecting the falling flow of the material of each blanking channel 4; calculating the average value of the falling flow of the materials of the plurality of blanking channels 4, and calculating the deviation value between the falling flow of the materials of each blanking channel 4 and the average value; and controlling the vibration frequency or amplitude of the corresponding vibration feeder 3 according to the deviation value corresponding to each blanking channel 4.
Before describing the operation of the method for controlling uniform feeding of the color sorter 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention, it should be understood that the adjustment of the vibration output can be generally achieved by adjusting the vibration amplitude of the vibration feeder 3 or adjusting the vibration frequency thereof. Therefore, the vibration frequency of the vibration feeder 3 is adjusted to increase or decrease the discharging amount of the vibration feeder 3, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the falling flow rate of the material of the corresponding discharging channel 4. Meanwhile, the discharging amount of the vibration feeder 3 can be increased or reduced through the vibration amplitude of the vibration feeder 3, so that the aim of adjusting the falling flow of the material of the corresponding discharging channel 4 is fulfilled. While the color sorter 100 generally uses the feeding device 1 shown in fig. 1 for feeding, the feeding position of the feeding device 1 is generally centered at a certain point above the feeding hopper 2 of the color sorter 100, and the feeding mode may cause the material in the feeding hopper 2 to be unevenly distributed.
That is to say, when the material flows in a plurality of unloading passageways 4 respectively, can detect the material whereabouts flow in every unloading passageway 4 respectively, according to the material whereabouts flow of a plurality of unloading passageways 4, calculate the average value of the material whereabouts flow of a plurality of unloading passageways 4, calculate the deviation value between the material whereabouts flow of every unloading passageway 4 and the average value according to this average value again, and then can control the vibration frequency or the amplitude of the vibration feeder 3 that corresponding unloading passageway 4 corresponds through the deviation value, in order to change the material whereabouts flow of every unloading passageway 4 and make it more be close to the average value, thereby guarantee that the material whereabouts flow of a plurality of unloading passageways 4 can keep basic unanimity, and then promote machine separation effect and efficiency, improve equipment output.
It should be noted that, when the material falling flow rate of one of the discharging channels 4 is smaller than the average value, the vibration frequency or amplitude of the vibration feeder 3 corresponding to the discharging channel 4 may be increased to increase the discharging amount to the corresponding discharging channel 4, so as to increase the material falling flow rate of the discharging channel 4, and make the material falling flow rate of the discharging channel approach the average value.
When the falling flow of the material of one of the discharging channels 4 is larger than the average value, the vibration frequency or amplitude of the vibration feeder 3 corresponding to the discharging channel 4 can be reduced to reduce the discharging amount of the corresponding discharging channel 4, so that the falling flow of the material of the discharging channel 4 is reduced, and the falling flow of the material of the discharging channel is close to the average value. Further, the color selection speed and the color selection efficiency of each blanking channel 4 are ensured, so that the color selector 100 can exert the best color selection effect and the maximum yield.
And then the falling flow of the materials of the plurality of blanking channels 4 is adjusted to be close to the average value by respectively controlling the vibration frequency or the vibration amplitude of the plurality of vibration feeders 3. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, since there are more left materials in the feeding hopper 2, and the falling flow rate of the materials in the left discharging channel 4 is larger under the feeding of the corresponding vibrating feeder 3, the color sorting effect of the materials in the part of discharging channels 4 is poor, and similarly, since there are fewer right materials in the feeding hopper 2, the falling flow rate of the materials in the right discharging channel 4 is smaller under the feeding of the corresponding vibrating feeder 3, the optimal color sorting effect of the part of discharging channels 4 cannot be achieved.
Therefore, by the control method for uniform feeding of the color sorter 100 of the invention, when the material in the feeding channel 4 is more, the falling flow rate of the material in the feeding channel 4 is greater than the average value, the control module 9 can lower the amplitude or frequency of the vibrating feeder 3 corresponding to the feeding channel 4, when the material in the feeding channel 4 is less, the falling flow rate of the material in the feeding channel 4 is less than the average value, the control module 9 can increase the amplitude or frequency of the vibrating feeder 3 corresponding to the feeding channel 4, so that the falling flow rates of the material in all the feeding channels 4 are kept basically consistent, and the material in the feeding hopper 2 slides to the lower part after the vibration amplitude or vibration frequency of the vibrating feeder 3 is reduced, thereby solving the problems of large flow rate of part of the feeding channels 4 and small flow rate of part of the feeding channels 4, and simultaneously solving the poor recognition effect of the feeding channels 4 with large flow rate, the problem of low identification efficiency of the feeding channel 4 with small flow is solved, and the optimal color sorting effect is realized.
According to the control method for uniform feeding of the color sorter 100, provided by the embodiment of the invention, the average value of the falling flow of the materials in the plurality of the blanking channels 4 is calculated, the deviation value between the falling flow of the materials of each blanking channel 4 and the average value is calculated according to the average value, and the vibration frequency or amplitude of the vibration feeder 3 of the corresponding blanking channel 4 is controlled according to the deviation value, so that the falling flow of the materials of the plurality of the blanking channels 4 is changed to be closer to the average value, the falling flow of the materials of the plurality of the blanking channels 4 can be basically consistent, the sorting effect and efficiency of the machine are improved, and the yield of the equipment is improved.
In some embodiments of the invention, the mean and deviation values are calculated according to a PID algorithm and adjustment instructions are sent towards the corresponding vibration feeder 3. That is to say, according to the detected result of the falling flow of the material of each of the plurality of blanking channels 4, the average value of the falling flow of the material of the plurality of blanking channels 4 is calculated through the PID algorithm, so as to obtain a more accurate and reliable average value, and the calculation of the average value is simpler.
Further, after the average value is calculated, the deviation value between the material falling flow of each blanking channel 4 and the average value can be calculated through a PID algorithm, so that the adjustment instruction is sent to the plurality of vibrating feeders 3 respectively, the vibration frequency or the vibration amplitude of the plurality of vibrating feeders 3 is adjusted, the material falling flow of the blanking channels 4 is changed to enable the material falling flow to be closer to the average value, the material falling flow of the plurality of blanking channels 4 can be kept basically consistent, the sorting effect and efficiency of a machine are improved, and the yield of equipment is improved.
It should be noted that the PID algorithm includes a proportion P, an integral I and a derivative D, wherein the proportion P is suitable for reflecting the deviation between the material falling flow rate of each of the plurality of discharging channels 4 and the average value, and the vibration frequency or amplitude of the vibration feeder 3 is controlled by adjusting the proportion coefficient of the proportion P, so as to achieve the purpose of changing the vibration frequency or amplitude of the vibration feeder 3, so that the material falling flow rates of the plurality of discharging channels 4 can be kept substantially consistent.
The integral I is suitable for reflecting the total deviation between the material falling flow rates of the plurality of blanking channels 4 and the average value, and the vibration frequencies or amplitudes of the plurality of vibration feeders 3 are respectively controlled according to the total deviation, so that the integral link can be adjusted as long as the deviation occurs between the material falling flow rates of the plurality of blanking channels 4 and the average value, and the total flow rate of the color sorter 100 is kept unchanged to the greatest extent until the deviation does not occur in adjustment.
The differential D is suitable for estimating a deviation trend between the material falling flow rate of each blanking channel 4 and the average value, and controlling the vibration frequency or amplitude of the corresponding vibration feeder 3 according to the deviation trend, so as to ensure that the vibration frequency or amplitude of the vibration feeder 3 is adjusted in advance before the material falling flow rate of the blanking channel 4 forms a deviation, so as to achieve the purpose of eliminating the deviation, and further avoid over-adjustment.
The proportion P, the integral I and the differential D can be calculated by the following formula;

In some embodiments of the invention it is detected whether the material level in the feeding hopper 2 is between a first level position and a second level position, the first level position being higher than the second level position, and the vibration frequency or amplitude of the vibrating feeder 3 is adjusted in real time such that the material level is between the first level position and the second level position. That is to say, interval is equipped with first high position and second high position in feeder hopper 2, this first high position is located the top of second high position, the accessible detects whether the material height in feeder hopper 2 is located between first high position and the second high position, again according to the vibration frequency or the amplitude of a plurality of vibration feeders 3 of testing result adjustment, so that the material height in feeder hopper 2 is located between first high position and the second high position, avoid on the one hand the material height in the hopper too high, the risk that the material spills over takes place, on the other hand avoid the material height in the hopper to hang down excessively, influence the normal ejection of compact of a plurality of unloading passageways 4, thereby guarantee that the position of the material in feeder hopper 2 keeps in the near position of ideal material level all the time, so that look selection machine 100 can exert best look selection effect and maximum output.
It should be noted that by making the first height position higher than the second height position, wherein the first height position may be a threshold height position of the upper limit of the material level in the feeding hopper 2, the material in the feeding hopper 2 may overflow from the feeding hopper 2 after the material level in the feeding hopper 2 exceeds the first height position; wherein the second height position can be the threshold value height position of material level height lower limit in feeder hopper 2, and the material level is less than the second height position in feeder hopper 2, and the material in feeder hopper 2 can make feeder hopper 2 become empty easily after the unloading passageway 4 falls down to the material, influences the normal work of look selection machine 100. Therefore, it is necessary to keep the material between the first height position and the second height position so that the color sorter 100 can exert the best color sorting effect and the maximum yield.
In some embodiments of the invention, the vibration frequency or amplitude of the vibratory feeder 3 is increased when the material level is above the first level position and the vibration frequency or amplitude of the vibratory feeder 3 is decreased when the material level is below the second level position. That is to say, when the material height in feeder hopper 2 is higher than first high position, through the vibration range or the vibration frequency of increasing a plurality of vibration feeders 3 simultaneously, increase the flow that the material falls, when the material height in feeder hopper 2 is less than second high position, through the vibration range or the vibration frequency of reducing a plurality of vibration feeders 3 simultaneously, reduce the flow that the material falls, when guaranteeing that the material whereabouts flow of a plurality of unloading passageways 4 keeps basic unanimous, make the position of the material in feeder hopper 2 remain in the near position of ideal material level all the time, and then make the regulation of material height in feeder hopper 2 simpler.
In some embodiments of the present invention, the vibration frequency or amplitude of the vibratory feeder 3 is controlled according to the feeding rate of the material from the feeding device 1 into the feeding hopper 2 after the material falling flow rate of the plurality of the blanking passages 4 is kept constant. That is, after the falling flow rates of the materials in all the discharging channels 4 are kept constant, the feeding rate of the materials from the feeding device 1 into the feeding hopper 2 may be constantly changed, the material level of the materials in the feeding hopper 2 is also changed, and the vibration frequency or amplitude of the vibration feeder 3 corresponding to the discharging channels 4 is kept unchanged, or the vibration frequency or amplitude of the vibration feeder 3 corresponding to the discharging channels 4 is reduced or increased in an equal proportion, so that the position of the materials in the feeding hopper 2 is always kept near the ideal material level, and the color selector 100 can exert the best color selecting effect and the maximum yield.
It should be noted that the ideal material level may be located between the first height position and the second height position, and the material in the feeding hopper 2 is easily overflowed when the first height position is exceeded, so that the ideal material level is located below the first height position, so that the amplitude or frequency of the plurality of vibrating feeders 3 can be adjusted to change the material feeding speed of all the material feeding channels 4 to make the material in the feeding hopper 2 always be at the ideal material level. Thereby avoiding overflow of the material in the feed hopper 2. When the material in the feeding hopper 2 is lower than the second height position, the material in the feeding hopper 2 is less, so the ideal material level is above the second height position, thereby the amplitude or frequency of the plurality of vibrating feeders 3 can be adjusted to change the blanking speed of all the blanking channels 4 to ensure that the material in the feeding hopper 2 is always at the ideal material level, and further the emptying of the feeding hopper 2 is avoided.
It should be noted that each of the discharging channels 4 has a set material falling flow value, and when the material falling flow of the discharging channel 4 exceeds the set material falling flow value, the color sorting effect of the color sorter 100 will decrease, and further, the material level in the feeding hopper 2 cannot be maintained at an ideal material level by infinitely increasing the vibration frequency or amplitude of the vibrating feeder 3, so that in order to ensure the color sorting effect of the color sorter 100, it should be ensured that the material falling flow of the discharging channel 4 does not exceed the set material falling flow value.
It can be understood that the falling flow rate of the materials in the plurality of discharging channels 4 can be increased under the action of the vibrating feeder 3 so as to make the material level in the feeding hopper 2 close to the ideal material level, but the falling flow rate of the discharging channels 4 should not exceed the set falling flow rate value of the materials so as to ensure the color sorting effect, if the falling flow rate exceeds the set falling flow rate value of the materials and does not reach the ideal material level, an alarm mode can be adopted to remind a worker to reduce the feeding speed of the feeding hopper 2, so as to ensure that the falling flow rate of the materials in the discharging channels 4 is lower than the set falling flow rate value of the materials, and further ensure that the material level of the feeding hopper 2 is close to the ideal material level.
In some embodiments of the invention, the vibration frequency or amplitude of each vibratory feeder 3 is controlled to remain constant or decrease at an equally proportional rate as the material feed rate into the feed hopper 2 slows; as the feed rate of material into feed hopper 2 increases, the frequency or amplitude of vibration of each vibratory feeder 3 is controlled to increase at an equally proportional rate.
