Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sorting machines, and particularly relates to a fibroin essence ball sorting machine. Background Art

[0002] Fibroin is a natural polymer fiber protein extracted from silk, accounting for about 70% - 80% of silk. It contains various amino acids, among which glycine, alanine, and serine account for more than 80% of the total composition. Fibroin itself has good mechanical properties and physical and chemical properties, such as good flexibility, tensile strength, air permeability and moisture permeability, slow release property, etc. Moreover, through different treatments, it can obtain different forms, such as fibers, solutions, powders, films, and gels. Fibroin is prone to molecular structure changes and aggregation when the environment changes, such as high temperature or vibration, manifested as the formation of gels or precipitation. The purified fibroin solution is usually not suitable to be stored at room temperature for more than two weeks, so drying and dehydration have become a means to extend the storage time of fibroin. The prior art turns fibroin into fibroin essence balls that are convenient to store by the method of dropping and condensing to extend its storage time. The fibroin essence balls prepared by this method are fragile, vulnerable to moisture, small in size and light in weight. The existing devices on the market are difficult to remove defective products while ensuring that the finished fibroin essence balls are not damaged, and there is no device that can allocate the number of fibroin essence balls with small quality and volume for subsequent packaging.

[0034] A base 10 is provided at the lower end of the bracket 1 to increase the standing stability of the device.

[0035] The working process of the present invention:

[0036] During installation, first complete the installation of the rotating sorting disk mechanism 2:

[0037] 1. Install the base block 21, the fixed block 23 and the fixed disk 24 in sequence. Then install the motor 22 on the base block 21. The output shaft of the motor 22 passes through the fixed block 23 and the fixed disk 24 and is located exactly in the middle of the fixed disk 24. Then install the rotating disk 25 on the output shaft of the motor 22, thus completing the installation of the rotating sorting disk mechanism 2.

[0038] 2. Install the base block 21 on the bracket 1, adjust the angle to make the rotating sorting disk mechanism 2 inclined, with an included angle of 60° - 80° with the horizontal plane. Subsequently, install the support rod 310 equipped with the infrared emitter 311 and the infrared sensor 312 at the position corresponding to the reflection window 241 on the fixed disk 24 on the back surface of the fixed disk 24, and install the electric push rod 32 and the gantry 33 on the fixed block 23 to block the delivery port 26 on the fixed disk 24, completing the installation of the main working unit.

[0039] 3. Install the guide rail collection mechanism 4 at the position corresponding to the delivery port 26. Place a collection bottle below the collection pipe 42 of the guide rail collection mechanism 4 to collect the dropped small balls. The specification of the collection bottle is the capacity for 5 small balls.

[0040] In the first stage of use, defective product screening: Pour the preliminarily screened essence ball products into the rotating disk 25. Due to the inclined angle of the entire rotating sorting disk mechanism 2, the poured essence balls gather at the lower part of the rotating disk 25. Start the motor 22, and the rotating disk 25 is driven by the output shaft of the motor 22 to start rotating. The products start to screen out defective products under the combined action of the defective product holes 252 and the finished product holes 251 on the rotating disk 25. Larger fragments and smaller debris and other defective products will enter the defective product holes 252, and essence balls as finished products and debris as defective products will enter the finished product holes 251. At this time, the photoelectric switch 31 is not powered on, and the electric push rod 32 remains in the extended state. The baffle 34 on the electric push rod 32 will block the shipping outlet 26, and the defective products or finished products temporarily stored in the finished product holes 251 will not enter the guide rail 41. The defective products in the defective product holes 252 will move towards the center of the rotating disk 25 along the strip-shaped defective product holes 252 due to their own gravity and then fall through the leak hole on the fixed disk 24.

[0041] In the second stage of use, the second level of the finished product holes: Use tools to remove all the items temporarily stored in the finished product holes 251 and conduct additional screening work to clean the essence balls in the finished product holes 251 of the mixed debris.

[0042] In the third stage of use, essence ball sorting: Start the motor 22 again, and at the same time start the photoelectric switch 31. The finished product holes 251 start to sort the small ball pile. During the rotation of the rotating disk 25, the essence balls as finished products will fall into the finished product holes 251 and then rise to a higher position. During the rising process, the infrared emitter 311 on the photoelectric switch 31 continuously emits infrared rays towards the reflection window 241 opened on the side of the fixed disk 24. During the rotation of the rotating disk 25, the reflector 254 arranged on the side of the rotating disk 25 is exposed in the reflection window 241, and the infrared rays are reflected back to the infrared sensor, triggering the photoelectric switch 31 to control the electric push rod 32 to retract. At this time, the finished product shipping outlet 26 is opened. When the finished product holes 251 on the rotating disk 25 rotate to the position of the shipping outlet 26, the essence balls temporarily stored in the finished product holes 251 enter the guide rail 41 through the finished product shipping outlet 26, and then enter the bottle placed below the collection pipe 42 through the collection pipe 42.

[0043] In the fourth stage of use, cleaning: When no more essence balls enter during the rotation of the rotating disk 25, clean up the remaining larger-sized defective products in the rotating disk 25 and repeat the first to fourth stages of the practical stage.

[0044] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, or improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
