Computer software algorithm system: through deep learning technology, various characteristic information of ore is studied, and an ore sorting training model is constructed to achieve fast and accurate identification of ore data.

Pneumatic mine waste separation system: through the air valve array driven by high-speed actuators, the ore is separated, the waste rock is blown into the waste rock trough, and the useful minerals fall into the sorting bin.

IV. Workflow

The workflow of the X-ray intelligent ore sorter mainly includes the following steps:

Feeding system: After cleaning and grading, the ore is fed into the vibrating feeder, and the ore is evenly distributed on the conveyor belt through mechanical vibration, forming a single-layer flat state and entering the detection area.

X-ray transmission detection: The X-ray source continuously transmits the ore, and the X-ray transmission detection system analyzes the density and structure inside the ore through the X-ray generator and receiver.

Image processing: The high-definition image recognition system images the surface features of the ore, and the industrial computer processes it. Through the established model recognition and algorithm, useful minerals and gangue minerals are distinguished.

Sorting execution: According to the recognition results, the high-speed actuator drives the gas valve array to sort the ore, blow the gangue minerals into the waste rock tank, and the useful minerals fall into the corresponding sorting bin.
