To enhance the adaptability of the vibrating conveyor to the demands of high-flow tobacco stalks transportation, and realize the flexible diversion of tobacco stalk material in the production process. The inlet of the vibratory conveyor was equipped with a diversion mechanism, which was designed based on theoretical analysis of the trajectory of tobacco stalk particles during throwing and the key parameters influencing the diversion effect. Design a set of five factor four level orthogonal experiments using the engineering discrete element method(EDEM) to optimize the parameters of the diversion system. The optimal parameter combinations are as follows: the distance between the baffle and the bottom of the vibration groove is 70 mm, the inclination angle of the guide plate is 45°, the length of the guide plate is 60 mm, the distance between the baffle and the end of the vibration groove is 245 mm, and the width of the guide plate is 80 mm. On this basis, a set of shunt control system was designed with STC12C5A60S2 as the core to regulate the phenomenon of flow fluctuation in a short period of time in the process of tobacco stalk transportation. The final on-site experimental verification shows that the diversion system can control the flow difference between the two material channels of the vibration conveyor after diversion within 3%.
