A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a color sorting apparatus which efficiently sorts products or articles in a leaf state (hereinafter, referred to as "leaf products") such as green tea, black tea, chrysanthemum, herbs and the like, each of which has a low specific gravity and drastically varies in size and color. The color sorting apparatus is configured such that a reflection chamber (5) is arranged in a frame (3) in the lengthwise direction to transmit and reflect light emitted by a light source, an annular reflection surface (10) is formed at the surface of the reflection chamber (5), light-emitting diode (LED) arrays (8, 9) are installed at the top and bottom of the reflection chamber (5), respectively, a transparent window (12) is arranged at the front surface of the reflection chamber (5) to enable a leaf product (2) to move along the transparent window (12), a slit (15) is formed at the rear surface of the reflection chamber (5) to enable images of the leaf product (2) to be captured by a CCD camera (16), and a leaf product (2a) determined to be a defective product is quickly removed by the high-pressure air jetted by an ejector (14) installed below the front surface of the frame (3).
