Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of agricultural product processing machinery in agricultural machinery, and in particular to a water chestnut grading device suitable for automatic grading during water chestnut processing. Background Art

[0002] Water chestnuts are annual aquatic plants of the genus Trapa in the family Trapaeaceae, also known as water chestnuts or sand chestnuts. Their leaves are very flat and smooth, and their seeds are edible. From planting to harvest, the plant takes approximately eight months, with leaves growing for the first three months, followed by the opening of small white flowers and the final fruiting of small water chestnuts. Water chestnuts are a renowned specialty of my country, with a cultivation history of over 3,000 years. There are numerous varieties of water chestnuts, including those with or without horns, two-horned water chestnuts, and four-horned water chestnuts. Water chestnuts are eaten as vegetables, with a sweet texture and rich in starch, protein, unsaturated fatty acids, and various vitamins and trace elements. The Compendium of Materia Medica states that water chestnuts can nourish the spleen and stomach, strengthen the thighs and knees, and enhance strength and invigorate Qi. Water chestnut flour porridge benefits the stomach and intestines and can relieve internal heat. Modern pharmacological experiments have reported that water chestnuts have certain anti-cancer properties.

[0003] Common water chestnuts are horn-like, with two curved corners, and are often dark green or brown. Their shells are relatively hard, with a smooth surface and a hint of luster. Currently, deep processing of water chestnuts is not automated, relying primarily on manual labor. However, manual screening and shelling are inefficient, uncontrollable, and costly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a water chestnut grading device, which can complete the grading of water chestnuts during the processing of water chestnuts, improve the efficiency of water chestnut processing, reduce the labor intensity of workers, and reduce production costs.

[0005] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A water chestnut grading device includes a frame, a speed reducer, pulleys, belts, pulleys, a feed hopper, a grading screen, connecting springs, a vibrating motor, a motor, baffles, screens, and a conveyor. The device's feeding system includes a feed hopper, screens, and screens fixed to the frame; the conveyor is mounted on the frame via conveyor shafts at both ends; and the grading screen is connected to the frame via connecting springs. During operation, the water chestnuts pass through the feed hopper, screens, and screens in sequence, being neatly separated and arranged in an orderly manner. Simultaneously, the motor's power supply drives the conveyor shaft after passing through the speed reducer, which in turn drives the conveyor belt to feed the water chestnuts from the feed hopper into the grading screen. The vibrating motor drives the grading screen to vibrate, and after entering the grading screen, the water chestnuts, guided by guide plates, enter the first layer of grading grids, where the first-grade water chestnuts are sorted. They then enter the second layer and pass through the second-grade grading grids, where the second-grade water chestnuts are separated. Finally, all remaining water chestnuts are discharged from the bottom layer, completing the grading process.

[0007] The entire feeding system includes a feeding hopper, baffles and partitions. The partitions are wider at the front end and narrower at the back end to ensure that the water chestnuts can smoothly enter the track and be arranged in order at the outlet. The height and angle of the baffles can be adjusted to ensure that the water chestnuts at the outlet will not be stacked.

[0008] The conveying device includes a conveying shaft and a conveyor belt. The conveying power is provided by a motor, and the speed is adjusted by a reducer to drive the conveying shaft. The conveying shaft drives the conveyor belt to feed the water chestnuts in the feeding hopper into the grading screen.

[0009] The grading device includes a guide plate, a first-level grading grid, a shell, a second-level grading grid, and a vibration motor. After the water chestnuts enter the grading screen, the vibration motor drives the grading screen to vibrate and enters the first-level grading grid under the guidance of the guide plate. The first-level grading grid is inclined at a certain angle. The water chestnuts that meet the requirements flow out of the grading screen along the inclination direction of the grid, and the water chestnuts of the first level size are separated. Then they enter the second layer and pass through the second-level grading grid. The second-level grading grid is inclined at a certain angle. The water chestnuts that meet the requirements flow out of the grading screen along the inclination direction of the grid, and the water chestnuts of the second level size are separated. Finally, all the remaining water chestnuts are discharged from the bottom layer.

[0010] The present invention operates as follows: A water chestnut grading device comprises a frame, a feeding system, a conveyor, a grading device, a motor, and a reducer. Water chestnuts pass through the feeding system, where they are neatly separated and arranged in an orderly manner. Simultaneously, they are transported to the grading device by the conveyor system. A vibrating motor drives the grading screen, which vibrates. Once the water chestnuts enter the grading screen, they are separated into different grades and classified, completing the grading process.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] The feeding system of the present invention can automatically and orderly arrange the water chestnuts and accurately transport them to the grading device.

[0013] Compared with other grading devices, the grading device of the present invention has better adaptability to water chestnuts. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
