[0002] Spirulina is a type of lower organism, a prokaryotic organism, a filament composed of single or multiple cells, 200-500μm long, 5-10μm wide, cylindrical, and loosely or tightly regular spirally curved, shaped like a clock spring, hence the name. Spirulina has the effects of reducing the toxic and side effects of cancer radiotherapy and chemotherapy, improving immune function, and lowering blood lipids. There are about 38 species of spirulina, most of which grow in alkaline salt lakes. Currently, large-scale artificial cultivation is carried out both at home and abroad, mainly Spirulina platensis, Spirulina maxima and Spirulina indica. Spirulina is edible and rich in nutrients, with a protein content of up to 60%-70%. The processing of spirulina is divided into the steps of harvesting, primary filtration, cleaning, vacuum filtration, algae mud making, drying, and screening.
[0003] At present, most of the spirulina screening devices on the market are mainly modified for the screening method, but the spirulina of different particle size ranges screened out need to be removed from the screen, which requires a certain amount of manpower and consumes a certain amount of time.

[0018] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0019] See also Figure 1-3 A spirulina screening device in this embodiment includes a shell 1, a support column 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell 1, a material storage box 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the shell 1, a feed port 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the material storage box 3, and a screening structure 5 is arranged inside the shell 1;
[0020] The screening structure 5 includes a feed port 501, a valve 502, a screening plate 503, a vibrator 504, a slider 1 505, a spring 506, a chute 1 507, a discharge port 508, an electric telescopic rod 509, a cleaning plate 5010, a slider 2 5011, a chute 2 5012, and a discharge port 5013. The bottom of the storage box 3 is fixedly connected with the feed port 501, and the outside of the feed port 501 is provided with a valve 502. The inner right wall of the housing 1 is hinged with the screening plate 503, and the bottom of the screening plate 503 is fixedly connected with the vibrator 504. The left side of the screening plate 503 A slider 505 is fixedly connected, a spring 506 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider 505, a slide groove 507 is opened on the inner left wall of the shell 1, a discharge port 508 is fixedly connected to the right side of the shell 1, electric telescopic rods 509 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the shell 1, cleaning plates 5010 are fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the two electric telescopic rods 509, sliders 5011 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the two cleaning plates 5010, two slide grooves 5012 are opened on the inner bottom wall of the shell 1, and a discharge port 5013 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the shell 1.
[0021] In the case implementation, a perspective window is provided on the front of the storage box 3 to facilitate checking the remaining amount of spirulina.
[0022] In the case implementation, when sieving spirulina, the two cleaning plates 5010 are respectively close to the inner left wall and the inner right wall of the outer shell 1 to prevent the spirulina from falling on the separated surfaces of the two cleaning plates 5010 and being unable to be cleaned. The top of the cleaning plate 5010 is inclined to prevent the spirulina from falling on the top of the cleaning plate 5010. The discharge port 508 has the same inclination as the sieving plate 503. The top of the sieving plate 503 is provided with sieving holes, and the sieving holes only allow small particles of spirulina to pass through. The second slider 5011 ensures that the cleaning plate 5010 moves close to the inner bottom wall of the outer shell 1 to prevent the spirulina between the cleaning plate 5010 and the inner bottom wall of the outer shell 1 from being unable to be cleaned.
[0023] In the case implementation, the spring 506 reduces the wear of the screen plate 503 during the vibration process.
[0024] When implementing, follow these steps:
[0025] 1) First, pour the spirulina into the storage box 3 through the feed inlet 4, open the valve 502, and let the spirulina fall into the top of the screening plate 503 through the feed inlet 501;
[0026] 2) Then the vibration machine 504 drives the screening plate 503 to vibrate, and the small particles of spirulina are discharged from the discharge port 5013, and the large particles of spirulina are discharged from the discharge port 508;
[0027] 3) Finally, the two electric telescopic rods 509 are extended to drive the two cleaning plates 5010 to move toward opposite sides, and the spirulina remaining on the inner bottom wall of the housing 1 is pushed into the discharge port 5013 by the cleaning plates 5010 and discharged.
[0028] In summary, the spirulina screening device, by setting the screening structure 5, pours the spirulina into the interior of the storage box 3 through the feed port 4, opens the valve 502, and the spirulina falls onto the screening plate 503 through the feed port 501. The operation of the vibrator 504 drives the screening plate 503 to vibrate, and small-particle spirulina is discharged from the discharge port 5013, and large-particle spirulina is discharged from the discharge port 508. Two electric telescopic rods 509 extend to drive the two cleaning plates 5010 to move toward opposite surfaces, and the spirulina remaining on the inner bottom wall of the shell 1 is pushed into the discharge port 5013 by the cleaning plate 5010 for discharge, thereby solving the problem that the spirulina of different particle size ranges screened out needs to be removed from the screen, which requires a certain amount of manpower and consumes a certain amount of time, and some spirulina will remain in the device, resulting in reduced yield.
