[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a pepper screening device of the utility model comprises a frame 1, a bracket 3 and a driving assembly 4;
[0029] Wherein, a hopper 2 is provided on the top of the frame 1;
[0030] The bracket 3 is arranged in an inclined manner, and the side portion is rotatably connected to the frame 1 through a connecting rod mechanism, and a swing mechanism is arranged at the bottom of the bracket 3;
[0031] A sieve plate 30 is disposed in the bracket 3, and a plurality of through holes are opened in the sieve plate 30;
[0032] Among them, the driving component 4 is connected to the frame 1, and the power output end of the driving component 4 drives the bracket 3 to reciprocate under the feed hopper 2 through a swing mechanism to screen the pepper located at the upper end of the screen plate 30.
[0033] The prickly ash screening device of the utility model can separate the prickly ash shells from the prickly ash seeds by the cooperation of the driving component 4, the swing mechanism and the connecting rod mechanism with the bracket 3, and has a simple structure and is easy to use.
[0034] Specifically, the swing mechanism includes a first connecting shaft 50 having one end hinged to the bottom of the bracket 3 and a second connecting shaft 51 having one end connected to the power output end of the driving assembly 4. The second connecting shaft 51 has an eccentric portion 52 in the middle, and the other end of the first connecting shaft 50 is rotatably connected to the eccentric portion 52.
[0035] The swing mechanism adopts an eccentric portion 52 set on the second connecting shaft 51, and through the cooperation of the eccentric portion 52 and the first connecting shaft 50, the upper hinged bracket 3 reciprocates in the horizontal direction. At the same time, the bracket 3 is connected to the frame 1 by a connecting rod mechanism, so that while moving horizontally, the bracket 3 reciprocates in the vertical direction, so that the pepper placed on the sieve plate 30 can be sorted, and the pepper seeds can quickly fall from the sieve plate 30 and be collected, thereby realizing the coarse screening process of the pepper, greatly reducing labor intensity and improving screening efficiency.
[0036] In addition, a cross frame may be provided at the bottom of the bracket 3 , through which the first connecting shaft 50 is connected to the bracket 3 .
[0037] Wherein, shaft seats 53 connected to the frame 1 are arranged at both ends of the second connecting shaft 51 .
[0038] The connecting rod mechanism includes a lower connecting member 60 connected to the bracket 3 and an upper connecting member 61 correspondingly connected to the frame 1 , and a connecting rod 62 is hinged between the upper connecting member 61 and the lower connecting member 60 .
[0039] In order to improve the stability of the bracket 3 during movement, the connecting rod mechanism is provided in four groups and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bracket 3 .
[0040] A fan 7 arranged at the tail of the bracket 3 is connected to the frame 1, and the air outlet of the fan 7 blows toward the sieve plate 30. Through the setting of the fan 7, impurities in the screening process can be blown away, so that the quality and taste of the finally screened pepper are better.
[0041] In addition, the bottom of the feed hopper 2 has a discharge port 20 extending along the width direction of the sieve plate 30, which can prevent the peppercorns falling from the feed hopper 2 from concentrating at the center of the sieve plate 30. Through the specific design of the discharge port 20, the peppercorns can be dispersed on the surface of the sieve plate 30, so that the screening effect is better.
[0042] In addition, the driving component 4 can use an electric motor, with pulleys sleeved on both ends of the second connecting shaft 51, and connected to the motor by means of a belt and pulley. A pulley can also be set at the power input end of the fan 7, which can share the belt that drives the first connecting shaft 50, so that one power source can drive the bracket 3 and the fan 7 to operate at the same time.
[0043] A collection box 8 is also provided below the bracket 3, and the pepper seeds separated by the primary screening are collected separately in the collection box 8. Correspondingly, a box for collecting pepper shells can be provided on one side of the discharging end of the sieve plate 30.
[0044] When in use, the sieve plate 30 is installed on the bracket 3, and pepper is put into the hopper 2. The motor is turned on, and the motor rotates to drive the belt and the pulley to rotate, thereby driving the second connecting shaft 51 to rotate, and then the first connecting shaft 50 and the bracket 3 are rotated for screening.
[0045] Among them, the bracket 3 can be set horizontally, but after such a design, the sieve plate 30 is also placed horizontally. When screening is performed, the pepper shells are scattered on the surface of the material, which is not conducive to collection. Therefore, as a preferred method, the bracket 3 is set at an angle so that the angle β between the bottom surface of the sieve plate 30 and the horizontal plane satisfies 5°≤β≤25°. After such a design, most of the pepper shells will be gathered together during screening, which is convenient for collection.
[0046] The above are only embodiments of the utility model. The common sense such as the known specific structures and characteristics in the scheme is not described in detail here. The ordinary technicians in the relevant field are aware of all the common technical knowledge in the technical field to which the utility model belongs before the application date or priority date, can obtain all the existing technologies in the field, and have the ability to apply the conventional experimental means before that date. The ordinary technicians in the relevant field can improve and implement the scheme in combination with their own abilities under the enlightenment given by this application. Some typical known structures or known methods should not become obstacles for the ordinary technicians in the relevant field to implement this application. It should be pointed out that for the technicians in this field, without departing from the structure of the utility model, several deformations and improvements can be made, which should also be regarded as the protection scope of the utility model, and these will not affect the effect of the implementation of the utility model and the practicality of the patent.
