Definitions
- the assembly shown in the drawing consisting of transmitter 2, residual light receiver 4 and product signal receivers 6 and 8, can be arranged around channel 1 in an identical manner, for example at an angle of 90, around channel 1 ° or 120 ° offset. If space permits, more than three transmitters with associated residual light receivers and product signal receivers can also be provided.

Abstract
La présente invention se rapporte à une optique de triage pour une trieuse par couleur. A cet effet, le produit est éclairé par un émetteur (2) avec de la lumière visible, infrarouge ou ultraviolette. Si aucun produit ne se trouve dans la trajectoire du rayon de la source émettrice, toute la lumière tombe sur un récepteur de lumière résiduelle (4). Si par contre un produit se présente, la lumière est partiellement ou complètement rediffusée vers un ou plusieurs récepteurs de signaux de produit (6, 8).The present invention relates to sorting optics for a color sorter. To this end, the product is illuminated by a transmitter (2) with visible, infrared or ultraviolet light. If no product is in the path of the ray of the emitting source, all the light falls on a receiver of residual light (4). If, on the other hand, a product presents itself, the light is partially or completely re-transmitted to one or more product signal receivers (6, 8).
