Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of rice testing technology, and in particular to a novel rice testing and analysis device. Background Technology
[0002] In existing laboratories or production lines, manual operation is required to take a small amount of rice for testing and analysis to obtain parameters such as broken rice rate and yellow rice rate. However, due to the small sample size, it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the human error is relatively large. Existing rice testing and analysis equipment cannot perform quantitative testing and analysis of rice, and there is a problem that rice accumulation affects the testing and analysis results. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a novel rice detection and analysis device.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A novel rice testing and analysis device includes a housing with a first movable door and a second movable door movably mounted on its two sides. An electrical control box is installed inside the housing, and an electrical control box is located on the side wall of the housing. A transition shell is installed inside the housing, and a feeding hopper is located at the top of the housing for feeding rice to be tested into the transition shell. An extension tube is located on one side of the transition shell. An installation roller is movably mounted inside the housing, and a conveyor belt is fitted around the installation roller to transport the rice fed through the extension tube. A mounting base is installed inside the housing on the side away from the feeding hopper, and a camera assembly is mounted at the bottom of the mounting base for photographing and detecting rice falling from the conveyor belt. A discharge port is located at the bottom of the housing. The hopper is used to collect rice that falls from the conveyor belt. A second perforation is provided on the bottom of the transition shell near the conveyor belt. A lifting plate is movably installed inside the second perforation. A first perforation is provided on the side of the lifting plate. A lifting seat is installed at one end of the lifting plate extending to the bottom of the transition shell. The side of the lifting seat is connected to the bottom outer wall of the transition shell by a mounting spring. Both ends of the mounting roller at the bottom of the transition shell are provided with actuating components. The positions of the actuating components correspond to the positions of the lifting seats and are used to reciprocate to actuate the lifting seats as the mounting roller rotates. A material-pushing rod is provided on the side of the lifting plate to agitate the rice inside the transition shell when the lifting plate moves up and down. The bottom inner wall of the transition shell is inclined.
[0006] Preferably, the vertical cross-section of the actuating component is a fan-shaped structure.
[0007] Preferably, a telescopic guide component is installed on the side of the lifting seat, and the end of the telescopic guide component away from the lifting seat is connected to the outer wall of the transition shell to guide the lifting and lowering movement of the lifting seat.
[0008] Preferably, a vibration component is installed on the side wall of the transition housing.
[0009] Preferably, the housing is equipped with a dust removal mechanism for cleaning rice that falls from the conveyor belt; the dust removal mechanism includes a dust blowing housing installed inside the housing, the dust blowing housing is located on the side of the conveyor belt near the discharge hopper, the top of the dust blowing housing is inclined, and a dust blowing hole is opened on the top of the dust blowing housing; an air pump is installed inside the housing for blowing air into the dust blowing housing; and a dust suction hood is installed inside the housing for suctioning the dust blown up by the dust blowing housing.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the housing is equipped with a lighting component for illuminating the rice.
[0011] Preferably, a buffer component is installed at the bottom of the mounting base to buffer the rice blown into the discharge hopper.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the housing is provided with a movable frame, and the bottom of the movable frame is equipped with casters; the bottom of the discharge hopper is provided with a discharge pipe for discharging the rice collected in the discharge hopper.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0014] In operation, rice to be tested is fed into the transition shell through the feed hopper. The rice flows to the opening of the extension tube and then onto the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt transports the rice to the camera assembly, which photographs and detects the rice falling from the conveyor belt. The discharge hopper collects the fallen rice. During the rotation of the mounting roller, the actuating component reciprocates, actuating the lifting seat. The lifting seat moves the lifting plate upwards until the opening of the first perforation and the opening of the extension tube within the transition shell are misaligned. At this point, the rice in the transition shell will not flow into the extension tube. When the actuating component and the lifting plate... When the lowering seat is misaligned, the lifting seat moves downward due to the elasticity of the installed spring. At this time, the opening of the first perforation and the opening of the extension tube inside the transition shell are aligned. The rice in the transition shell flows through the opening of the first perforation into the extension tube and is discharged onto the conveyor belt through the extension tube. This allows the rice to be automatically and intermittently discharged onto the conveyor belt, enabling the intermittent detection and analysis of small quantities of rice. This avoids the accumulation of rice on the conveyor belt, which would lead to large detection errors. Furthermore, during the lifting plate's movement, the feeding rod moves up and down within the transition shell, agitating the rice in the transition shell and promoting its flow to the side of the lifting plate.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0022] Reference Figures 1 to 5A novel rice detection and analysis device includes a housing 1, with a first movable door 27 and a second movable door 28 movably installed on both sides of the housing 1. An electrical control box 7 is installed inside the housing 1, and an electrical box 4 is located on the side wall of the housing 1. A transition housing 5 is installed inside the housing 1, and a feeding hopper 6 is located at the top of the housing 1 for feeding rice to be tested into the transition housing 5. An extension tube 19 is located on one side of the transition housing 5. An installation roller 3 is movably installed inside the housing 1, and a conveyor belt 25 is fitted around the installation roller 3 for conveying the rice fed from the extension tube 19. A mounting base 9 is installed on the side of the housing 1 away from the feeding hopper 6, and a camera assembly 8 is installed at the bottom of the mounting base 9 for photographing and detecting rice falling from the conveyor belt 25. A discharge hopper 12 is located at the bottom of the housing 1 for... Rice falling from the conveyor belt 25 is collected; a second perforation 20 is provided on the bottom of the transition shell 5 near the conveyor belt 25, and a lifting plate 17 is movably installed inside the second perforation 20. A first perforation 18 is provided on the side of the lifting plate 17, and a lifting seat 21 is installed at one end of the lifting plate 17 extending to the bottom of the transition shell 5. The side of the lifting seat 21 is connected to the bottom outer wall of the transition shell 5 by a mounting spring 22; both ends of the mounting roller 3 located at the bottom of the transition shell 5 are provided with a pushing component 26, the position of the pushing component 26 corresponds to the position of the lifting seat 21, and is used to reciprocate to push the lifting seat 21 as the mounting roller 3 rotates; a material-pushing rod 16 is provided on the side of the lifting plate 17, which is used to push the rice in the transition shell 5 when the lifting plate 17 moves up and down; the bottom inner wall of the transition shell 5 is inclined.
[0023] In use, the rice to be tested is fed into the transition shell 5 through the feed hopper 6. The rice in the transition shell 5 flows to the opening of the extension tube 19 and is discharged onto the conveyor belt 25 through the extension tube 19. The conveyor belt 25 transports the rice to the camera assembly 8, which takes pictures of the rice falling from the conveyor belt 25. The discharge hopper 12 collects the fallen rice. During the rotation of the mounting roller 3, the actuating component 26 reciprocates to actuate the lifting seat 21 along with the rotation of the mounting roller 3. The lifting seat 21 drives the lifting plate 17 to move upward until the opening of the first perforation 18 and the opening of the extension tube 19 in the transition shell 5 are misaligned. At this time, the rice in the transition shell 5 will not flow into the extension tube 19. When the actuating component 26... When the lifting plate 17 is misaligned with the lifting seat 21, the lifting seat 21 moves downward due to the elasticity of the spring 22. At this time, the opening of the first perforation 18 and the opening of the extension tube 19 in the transition housing 5 are aligned. The rice in the transition housing 5 flows into the extension tube 19 through the opening of the first perforation 18 and is discharged onto the conveyor belt 25 through the extension tube 19. This allows the rice to be automatically and intermittently discharged onto the conveyor belt 25, enabling the intermittent detection and analysis of small quantities of rice. This avoids the accumulation of rice on the conveyor belt 25, which could lead to large detection errors. During the lifting and lowering movement of the lifting plate 17, the feeding rod 16 moves up and down within the transition housing 5, moving the rice in the transition housing 5 and promoting the flow of the rice to the side of the lifting plate 17.
[0024] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the vertical cross-section of the actuating component 26 is a fan-shaped structure.
[0025] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a telescopic guide component 23 is installed on the side of the lifting seat 21.

[0026] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a vibration component 24 is installed on the side wall of the transition shell 5 to drive the transition shell 5 and the rice inside the transition shell 5 to shake, thereby promoting the flow of rice within the transition shell 5.

A dust suction hood 111 is used to vacuum the dust kicked up by the dust blowing shell 112. When the rice falls from the conveyor belt 25, the air pump 29 blows air into the dust blowing shell 112. The airflow is sprayed out from the dust blowing hole to blow the rice, blowing away the dust attached to the rice. The dust is then vacuumed up by the dust suction hood 111, thus cleaning the rice and preventing dust from adhering to the rice and affecting the accuracy of the test. The dust suction hood 111 can also effectively blow the rice into the discharge hopper 12 or disperse the rice to ensure comprehensive photographic testing of the rice.
[0029] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an illumination component 14 is installed on the inner wall of the housing 1 to illuminate the rice and ensure the accuracy of the photographic detection.
[0030] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a buffer component 10 is installed at the bottom of the mounting base 9 to buffer the rice blown into the discharge hopper 12, so as to prevent the rice from colliding with the inner wall of the discharge hopper 12 and splashing.
[0031] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the buffer component 10 is made of a flexible material such as a strip of cloth, and the bottom of the buffer component 10 extends into the interior of the discharge hopper 12.
