in this embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, a tea leaf separation device works as follows:

step 1, in an initial state, the side of the drum screen 14 with the screen holes is all towards the right upper side. After the electric cabinet 1 controls the stepping motor 3 to drive the drum screen 14 to rotate for 180 degrees, one side of the drum screen 14 with the screen holes faces to the right lower side, so that tea leaves in the drum screen 14 fall onto the optical glass 6 through the screen holes, at the moment, the front half section of the optical glass 6 is already covered with the tea leaves, and the rear half section of the optical glass is in an empty state;

step 2, in order to uniformly distribute the tea leaves in the rear half section of the optical glass in a mutually non-shielding state, the electric cabinet 1 controls the rotating speed of the stepping motor 3 to be increased, and the pulse period ratio of the stepping motor 3 to the large stepping motor 4 is 3:1, so that the purpose that the objective table 5 and the rotary screen 14 can move cooperatively is achieved;

the pulse numbers of the stepping motor 3 and the large stepping motor 4 are set, so that the electric cabinet 1 can control the stepping motor 3 to drive the rotary screen 14 to rotate, and simultaneously control the large stepping motor 4 to drive the pair of synchronous belt sliding tables 7 to do linear motion so as to realize cooperative motion, so that the tea leaves can be uniformly distributed on the rear half section of the optical glass 6 without shielding;

step 3, after the rotary screen 14 rotates for one circle, the electric cabinet 1 controls the stepping motor 3 to stop working;

step 4, the objective table 5 continues to reach an automatic cleaning module under the driving of the large stepping motor 4;

step 5, as shown in fig. 4, the inclination angle of the bottom of the supporting rod 22 and the inclination angle of the U-shaped hole in the supporting frame 23 are both 30 degrees, so that the direction of the friction force exerted on the bottom of the supporting rod 22 is opposite to the direction of the friction force exerted on the top of the supporting rod 22 by the suspension shaft 19, and the suspension frame 19 is facilitated to move upwards along the inclination angle of the U-shaped hole; the top of the supporting rod 22 is a through hole, and the supporting rod is hung on two sides of the hanging shaft 19 and can freely rotate; in the presence of the lug boss 20, the free rotation in one direction can be limited, so that the support rod can only freely rotate along one direction; the cleaning brush 21 is fixed in the middle of the suspension shaft 19, and the motion state of the cleaning brush is consistent with that of the suspension shaft 19; in the original state, the tail ends of the brush hairs of the cleaning brush 21 are 3mm lower than the upper surface of the objective table 5; after the hanging shaft 19 is completely lifted, the tail ends of the brush hairs of the cleaning brush 21 are 7mm higher than the upper surface of the object stage 5, so that the tea samples on the object stage 5 are ensured not to be contacted during the outward movement and can be cleaned during the return movement. The object stage 5 is contacted with the bottom of the support rod 22, and under the limit of the boss 20, the suspension shaft 19 moves upwards along the inclination angle of the U-shaped hole and drives the cleaning brush 21 to move upwards together;

step 6, under the linear motion of the objective table 5, the bottom of the supporting rod 22 is abutted against the objective table 5, and when the objective table 5 is completely separated from the automatic cleaning module, the supporting rod 22 drives the cleaning brush 21 to move downwards, so that the original state is recovered;

step 7, the objective table 5 continues to reach an image acquisition module under the driving of the large stepping motor 4;

step 8, when the objective table 5 completely shields the backlight source 9, the electric cabinet 1 controls the large stepping motor 4 to stop working, so that the industrial camera 12 can acquire images of the tea leaves on the objective table 5 and transmit the images to the computer, and the computer processes and analyzes shape data of the collected tea leaf samples to obtain results;

and 9, when image acquisition is finished, the electric cabinet 1 controls the large stepping motor 4 to reversely drive the object stage 5 to return, and when the object stage passes through the automatic cleaning module, the supporting rod 22 rotates around the suspension shaft 19, and the cleaning brush 21 keeps still and cleans tea leaves on the object stage 5 to the bottom of the rack 13.

To sum up, the utility model relates to a tealeaves separator enables to realize not having the evenly distributed state that shelters from each other between tealeaves to image acquisition and the accurate grading of tealeaves for subsequent tealeaves shape characteristic facilitate.
