Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of primary processing of poppy capsules, and more specifically, to a device for sorting and separating poppy capsules. Background Art

[0002] Due to the natural difference in the growth height of poppy plants and the strict requirement of not breaking the capsules during harvesting (otherwise, the seeds in the capsules will leak onto the ground, causing significant economic losses and safety risks), about 30% of the poppy capsules obtained by mechanical harvesting carry straw with a length exceeding the standard (enterprise standard: not more than 2 cm), which brings high costs to medicinal poppy slice processing enterprises and users, and also poses a safety risk to the safe use of drugs by patients.

[0003] Poppy is strictly regulated by laws and regulations from planting to the end - product drugs. Therefore, there are few people engaged in poppy industry, especially in the related technologies of primary processing in planting bases, and this work has been completed manually for a long time. At present, there is no corresponding similar device to effectively sort and separate poppy capsules with straw and poppy capsules without straw (less than 2 cm), which is completely done manually, resulting in an increase in the primary processing cost and safety hazards of poppy capsules.

[0004] Therefore, in order to effectively solve the above problems, it is necessary to design a device that can efficiently mechanically sort poppy capsules with straw and poppy capsules without straw (less than 2 cm) to achieve the purpose of separating poppy capsules, so as to fully replace manual labor, greatly improve the processing efficiency of subsequent processes and eliminate related risks. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a device for sorting and separating poppy capsules, which is a fully mechanized device for sorting and separating poppy capsules. It sorts and separates according to the length of the straw carried in the poppy capsules harvested by machinery (enterprise standard less than 2 cm), can efficiently replace the previous manual sorting and separation work, improve work efficiency and product quality, and provide technical support for the sustainable high - quality development of China's poppy industry.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A device for sorting and separating poppy capsules includes a frame main body, a vibrating and directional feeder, a rough - surface tooth - track sorting and separating mechanism, and a frame driving mechanism;

[0008] The vibrating and directional feeder installed above the frame main body arranges the poppy capsules with different lengths of straw in a longitudinal arrangement under the action of high - frequency vibration, and sends the poppy capsules to the rough - surface tooth - track sorting and separating mechanism installed behind the frame main body;

[0009] The rough-surface tooth track sorting and separating mechanism includes a serrated grille and a sorting and transporting belt. The serrated grille is composed of several grille plates with a serrated shape as a whole. The several grille plates are installed on the upper surface of the sorting and transporting belt, and evenly divide the wide surface of the sorting and transporting belt into several longitudinal parallel tracks; the upper surface of the sorting and transporting belt is an uneven rough surface; the sorting and transporting belt is jointly tensioned by a driving roller and a driven roller on a bottom belt mounting seat. The front end of the bottom belt mounting seat is installed on the main body of the frame. The rear end of the bottom belt mounting seat and the sorting and transporting belt thereon gradually incline upward. A straw and poppy husk discharge port is installed on the bottom belt mounting seat below the rear end discharge side of the sorting and transporting belt, and a non-straw and poppy husk discharge port is installed on the main body of the frame below the front end discharge side of the sorting and transporting belt;

[0010] The frame driving mechanism includes a driving motor installed on the main body of the frame. The driving motor drives the driving roller to rotate through a transmission belt, and drives the sorting and transporting belt to run gradually upward from front to back; the driving motor is a driving frequency modulation motor, and the driving frequency modulation motor provides an adjustable running speed for the sorting and transporting belt.

[0011] Preferably, the vibrating and orienting feeder includes a vibrating trough, vibrating springs and a vibrating motor. The inner trough surface of the vibrating trough is a corrugated trough surface capable of longitudinally transporting poppy husks. The periphery of the bottom surface of the vibrating trough is connected to the corresponding top surface of the main body of the frame through several vibrating springs. The vibrating motor is installed at the bottom of the vibrating trough and can drive the corrugated trough surface to vibrate.

[0012] Preferably, the vibrating motor is a vibrating frequency modulation motor, and the vibrating frequency modulation motor provides an adjustable vibration frequency and vibration amplitude for the corrugated trough surface.

[0013] Preferably, the longitudinal parallel tracks separated by the grille plates correspond one by one to the longitudinal conveying troughs on the inner trough surface of the vibrating trough.

[0014] Preferably, the height of the serrated unit bodies on the grille plates is 2 - 3 cm, and the width of the longitudinal parallel tracks separated by two adjacent grille plates is determined according to the size of the poppy husks.

[0015] Preferably, the serrations on the grille plates are triangular serrations and are evenly distributed.

[0016] Preferably, the front bottom side of the bottom belt mounting seat is rotatably connected to the corresponding top surface of the main body of the frame, and the rear bottom side of the bottom belt mounting seat is connected to the corresponding top surface of the main body of the frame through an inclination adjustment mechanism.

[0017] Preferably, the inclination adjustment mechanism is an adjustment rod with adjustable length, the bottom end of the adjustment rod is rotatably connected to the frame body, and the top end of the adjustment rod is rotatably connected to the bottom belt mounting seat.

[0018] Preferably, two inclination adjustment mechanisms are provided, and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides between the frame body and the bottom belt mounting seat.

[0019] The invention discloses a device for sorting and separating poppy husks. The device mainly comprises a frame body, a vibrating directional feeder, a rough surface tooth path sorting and separation mechanism and a frame driving mechanism. The device uses the vibrating directional feeder to feed poppy husks with straws of different lengths into the rough surface tooth path sorting and separation mechanism which is inclined (adjustable) and runs backward at a high speed. Poppy husks with straws (greater than 2 cm) are subjected to greater friction from the rough surface and are entangled by the tooth path. As the rough surface tooth path sorting and separation mechanism runs backward, the poppy husks without straws roll downward in the rough surface tooth path sorting and separation mechanism under the action of gravity, thereby achieving the goal of efficient sorting and separation.

[0020] The device for sorting and separating poppy husks of the present invention can efficiently replace traditional manual sorting, which not only greatly reduces the primary processing cost of planting enterprises, but also saves the straw sorting process for downstream medicinal poppy decoction piece processing enterprises and user enterprises, and effectively eliminates hidden dangers for terminal patients to use medicines safely.

[0030] Embodiment:

[0031] Referring to Figures 1-4 , this embodiment provides a device for sorting and separating poppy husks, which can completely replace manual labor and achieve the purpose of improving quality and efficiency. It mainly includes a rack body 10, a vibrating directional feeder 20, a rough surface tooth track sorting and separating mechanism 30, and a rack driving mechanism 40.

[0032] Among them, the rack body 10 is the bearing base of the device. The vibrating directional feeder 20 installed above the rack body 10 arranges the poppy husks carrying straws of different lengths in a longitudinal arrangement under the action of high-frequency vibration, and sends the poppy husks carrying straws of different lengths to the rough surface tooth track sorting and separating mechanism 30 installed behind the rack body 10.

[0033] More specifically, the vibrating directional feeder 20 includes a vibrating trough 21, a vibrating spring 22 and a vibrating motor 23. The inner trough surface of the vibrating trough 21 is a corrugated trough surface 211 capable of longitudinally conveying poppy shells. The bottom surface of the vibrating trough 21 is connected to the corresponding top surface of the frame body 10 through a plurality of vibrating springs 22 (four vibrating springs 22 in this embodiment). The vibrating motor 23 is installed at the bottom of the vibrating trough 21 and can drive the corrugated trough surface 211 to vibrate.

[0034] In this embodiment, two vibration motors 23 are installed side by side on the bottom surface of the vibration trough 21 to ensure the overall vibration transmission effect of the vibration trough 21 .

[0035] Furthermore, the vibration motor 23 is a vibration frequency modulation motor, which provides adjustable vibration frequency and vibration amplitude for the corrugated groove surface 211 .

[0036] During specific operation, after the vibration motor 23 is started, the corrugated groove surface 211 starts to vibrate along with the vibration groove 21, and cooperates with the vibration spring 22 to present wave-like vibration in the front, back, up and down directions. The poppy husks carrying straws of different lengths will move from the front end to the rear end of the vibration groove under the action of the vibration force and gradually be arranged longitudinally (the vibration frequency and amplitude can be adjusted by the power supply frequency of the vibration motor 23). Finally, the poppy husks carrying straws of different lengths will fall to the bottom of the rough-surface tooth picking and separation mechanism 30 after moving to the rear end of the vibration groove 21, and will be separated by utilizing the speed difference caused by the friction force exerted on the poppy husks of different shapes (whether with straws or not) in the picking and separation mechanism.

[0037] The rough-toothed picking and separation mechanism 30 in this embodiment includes a serrated grille and a picking and transporting belt 31. The serrated grille is composed of a plurality of grating plates 32 which are serrated as a whole. The plurality of grating plates 32 are installed on the upper surface of the picking and transporting belt 31, and the wide body surface of the picking and transporting belt 31 is evenly divided into a plurality of longitudinal parallel tracks 33. The upper surface of the picking and transporting belt 31 is a rough surface with a concave and convex shape to increase friction and entrainment capacity. The picking and transporting belt 31 is tensioned by the active roller 34 and the driven roller 35 on the bottom belt mounting seat 36. The front end of the bottom belt mounting seat 36 is installed on the frame body 10. The bottom belt mounting seat 36 and the rear end of the picking and transporting belt 31 thereon are gradually inclined upward. A poppy shell discharge port 50 with straw is installed on the bottom belt mounting seat 36 below the discharging side of the rear end of the picking and transporting belt, and a poppy shell discharge port 60 without straw is installed on the frame body 10 below the discharging side of the front end of the picking and transporting belt.

[0038] More specifically, the longitudinal parallel tracks 33 separated by the grid plates 32 correspond one-to-one to the longitudinal conveying grooves on the inner groove surface of the vibration groove.

[0039] Meanwhile, the height of the serrated unit on the grille plate 32 is 2 - 3 cm, and the width of the longitudinally parallel tracks 33 separated by two adjacent grille plates 32 is determined according to the size of the poppy capsules, generally about 7 cm.

[0040] The serrations on the grille plate 32 are triangular serrations and are evenly distributed. Through actual verification, the triangular serrations can effectively transport the poppy capsules carrying straw upwards and make them fall smoothly into the straw - carrying poppy capsule discharge port 50.

[0041] The frame drive mechanism 40 includes a drive motor 41 installed on the frame main body 10. The drive motor 41 drives the rotation of the driving roller 34 in the rough - surface tooth - track sorting and separating mechanism 30 through a transmission belt 42, and drives the sorting and transporting belt 31 to run gradually upwards from front to back.

[0042] The drive motor 41 in this embodiment is a drive frequency - modulation motor, and the drive frequency - modulation motor provides an adjustable operating speed for the sorting and transporting belt 31.

[0043] In a further specific embodiment, the front bottom of the bottom - belt mounting seat 36 is rotatably connected to the corresponding top surface of the frame main body 10, and the rear bottom of the bottom - belt mounting seat 36 is connected to the corresponding top surface of the frame main body 10 through an inclination - adjusting mechanism 37.

[0044] More specifically, the inclination - adjusting mechanism 37 is an adjusting rod with adjustable length (such as adjusted by a nut or a cylinder). The bottom end of the adjusting rod is rotatably connected to the frame main body 10, and the top end of the adjusting rod is rotatably connected to the bottom - belt mounting seat 36.

[0045] In this embodiment, in order to ensure stable adjustment of the inclination of the bottom - belt mounting seat 36 and the sorting and transporting belt 31 thereon, two inclination - adjusting mechanisms 37 are provided in total, and are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides between the frame main body 10 and the bottom - belt mounting seat 36.

[0046] By reasonably adjusting the frequency of the drive motor 41 and the installation inclination of the sorting and transporting belt 31, the present invention can finally achieve full - mechanized sorting and separation of poppy capsules with straw and poppy capsules without straw (less than 2 cm) on the rough - surface tooth - track sorting and separating mechanism 30.

[0047] During specific operation, the poppy capsules carrying straws of different lengths are directionally conveyed by the vibrating directional feeder 20 onto the rough-surface tooth-track sorting and separating mechanism 30 with an inclination (the angle can be adjusted by the adjusting rods on both sides) and running at a high speed (the frequency of the driving motor 41 is adjustable). According to the speed difference formed by the combined action of the concave-convex surface friction force and the clamping force of the sawteeth on the grid on the poppy capsules carrying straws of different lengths when they run on the sorting and transporting belt 31, the poppy capsules carrying straws are transported upward to the top and then fall into the straw-carrying poppy capsule discharge port 50 to enter the straw-removing process. The poppy capsules without straws, due to their round shape, will quickly roll down to the bottom and enter the crushing process through the poppy capsule discharge port 60 without straws. Thus, the poppy capsules are efficiently sorted and separated according to the length of the carried straws (mainly by adjusting the inclination angle and rotation speed to cause the speed difference of the poppy capsules with different shapes).

[0048] In the present invention, the mechanical parts such as the vibrating directional feeder 20, the rough-surface tooth-track sorting and separating mechanism 30, and the driving motor 41 are scientifically and reasonably arranged and fixed on the main frame 10 in a front-back, high-low, and certain inclination angle manner. By adjusting the frequencies of the vibrating motor 23 and the driving motor 41 and the length of the adjusting rod, power and control are provided for the vibrating directional feeder 20 and the rough-surface tooth-track sorting and separating mechanism 30. Finally, it efficiently replaces the traditional manual sorting, not only greatly reducing the initial processing cost of planting enterprises, but also saving the straw sorting process for downstream medicinal poppy slice processing enterprises and using enterprises, and effectively eliminating potential hazards for the safe medication of terminal patients.

The same or similar parts among the embodiments can be referred to each other. For the device disclosed in the embodiment, since it corresponds to the method disclosed in the embodiment, the description is relatively simple, and the relevant parts can be referred to the description of the method part.
