[0029] like Figure 1-6 A popcorn screening device with a quick assembly and adjustment function is provided, comprising a first conveyor belt unit 1, a screening frame 3 and a second conveyor belt unit 2 arranged from left to right, the screening frame 3 comprises a C-shaped plate 301, the C-shaped plate 301 is arranged obliquely, and the two sides of the C-shaped plate 301 are overlapped with the first conveyor belt unit 1 and the second conveyor belt unit 2 respectively, an adjustment frame 5 is arranged at the lower part of the C-shaped plate 301, a vibrator 8 is detachably provided between the C-shaped plate 301 and the adjustment frame 5, a telescopic support unit 4 is provided at the lower part of the second conveyor belt unit 2, the telescopic support unit 4 comprises a plurality of second support legs 401 evenly arranged on both sides of the second conveyor belt unit 2, the two second support legs 401 on the same side are connected by a lifting unit 9, the lifting unit 9 comprises a locking sleeve 903, a cantilever plate 901 is telescopically provided on the locking sleeve 903, and the cantilever plate 901 is detachably arranged on the second support leg 401. When in use, in order to ensure the stable operation of the screening frame 3, a certain height difference is maintained between the top surfaces of the conveyor belts of the first conveyor belt unit 1 and the second conveyor belt unit 2. The C-shaped plate 301 serves as an inclined surface, which can screen the popcorn from the upper side through the sieve hole 302. At the same time, under the action of the vibrator 8, the screening efficiency is maintained. By rotating the locking sleeve 903 on the jacking unit 9, the height of the cantilever plate 901 is changed, and the height of the second supporting legs 903 on both sides is adjusted, thereby completing the overall jacking of the second conveyor belt unit 2. It is easy to operate, has a large adjustment range, and has a good use effect.

[0030] like Figure 7-8 In the preferred solution, the adjustment frame 5 includes a frame 501, the frame 501 and the C-shaped plate 301 are detachably connected, the lower part of the frame 501 is hinged with a plurality of sleeves 502, the lower part of the sleeve 502 is telescopically provided with a first threaded rod 503, and the first threaded rod 503 is respectively connected to the first conveyor belt unit 1 and the telescopic support unit 4 through the fixing plate 6. The first threaded rod 503 and the sleeve 502 are threadedly connected, so that the position of the sleeve 502 can be changed by adjusting the first threaded rod 503 to meet the change of the state of the frame 501, and the fixing plate 6 can be used to apply force to fix the first conveyor belt unit 1 and the second conveyor belt unit 2 during the adjustment of the adjustment frame 5. Since the first conveyor belt unit 1 and the second conveyor belt unit 2 have large volumes and heavy weights, their own states are stable. Through the cooperation of the fixing plate 6, it is ensured that the adjustment frame 5 is only fine-tuned in the transportation direction and the height direction, the overall installation accuracy is good, and the screening effect is better. After the adjustment is completed, the fixing plate 6 is used to complete the complete locking of the adjustment frame 5 itself to ensure the overall structural rigidity.

[0031] In the preferred solution, a plurality of first support legs 101 are evenly arranged on both sides of the lower part of the first conveyor belt unit 1, a third threaded hole 102 is arranged on the first support leg 101, a second threaded hole 406 is arranged on the second support leg 401, and the fixing plate 6 includes a limiting sleeve 601, the limiting sleeve 601 is sleeved on the sleeve 502, a connecting plate 602 is arranged on one side of the limiting sleeve 601, a second waist hole 603 is penetrated on the connecting plate 602, and the connecting plate 602 is respectively connected to the first support leg 101 and the second support leg 401 by screws 7. With this structure, the fixing plate 6 can be firmly installed on the first support leg 101 and the second support leg 401, so that the overall structural stability is strong, and when the height of the adjustment frame 3 changes, the fixing plate 6 still maintains the stability of its own position, avoiding the problem of displacement.

With this structure, when adjustment is required, the cantilever plate 901 first applies a lifting force to the second support legs 401 on both sides, and when the force is stable, the first shaft 403 is pulled out to release the connection between the second support leg 401 and the support sleeve 402, and then the height of the cantilever plate 901 is adjusted. After the cantilever plate 901 is lifted to a suitable height, the second support leg 401 and the support sleeve 402 are aligned, and the first shaft 403 is reinserted to complete the locking of the second support leg 401, so that the adjustment range is large and the effect is good.

The adjustment plate 902 is inserted into the square groove 904, and a second threaded rod 909 is provided at the lower part of the adjustment plate 902, and the second threaded rod 909 is threadedly connected to the locking sleeve 903. The bottom of the locking sleeve 903 supports the ground, and thus the structure allows the position of the second threaded rod 909 to be adjusted by rotating the locking sleeve 903, and then the height of the adjusting plate 902 changes accordingly, driving the cantilever plate 901 to be adjusted in the height direction, with stable force and convenient adjustment.

The number of the fifth through holes 907 is greater than the number of the fourth through holes 906, and thus, the overall adjustment range can be changed by changing the position of the adjustment plate 902 relative to the side plate 905, and the adjustment efficiency is higher.

[0035] In the preferred solution, a sieve hole 302 is provided through the middle of the C-shaped plate 301, a material drop opening 306 is provided at the lower side of the sieve hole 302, a through slot 505 is provided in the middle of the frame 501, the material drop opening 306 is penetrated in the through slot 505, and the sleeve 502 is threadedly connected with the first threaded rod 503. With this structure, after the sieved popcorn passes through the sieve hole 302, the unqualified popcorn enters the storage bag below through the material drop opening 306, which is convenient for collection.

[0036] In the preferred solution, slide plates 303 are slidably provided on both sides of the C-shaped plate 301, and first threaded holes 310 and first round holes 305 are provided on the C-shaped plate 301 and the slide plates 303, respectively. The slide plates 303 are fixed to the C-shaped plate 301 by screws 7, and a guide plate 304 is further provided on the inner side of the C-shaped plate 301. The guide plate 304 and the C-shaped plate 301 are connected to form a structure with large ends and a small middle part, thereby ensuring the screening effect of popcorn. All popcorn from above is gathered at the sieve hole 302 to complete the screening. After the screening is completed, it is avoided to accumulate at a low place, and the circulation efficiency is better.

[0037] In the preferred solution, a plurality of straight rods 307 are provided on the lower side of the C-shaped plate 301, a plurality of third through holes 504 are penetrated on the frame 501, the straight rods 307 are inserted into the third through holes 504, a spring 308 is sleeved on the straight rods 307, and the straight rods 307 are connected to the frame 501 through a locking ring 309. With this structure, the overall screening effect of the C-shaped plate 301 is better. Under the action of the vibrator 8, the C-shaped plate 301 moves slightly up and down in the direction perpendicular to the frame 501, so that the popcorn can pass through the sieve hole 302 stably and quickly, and at the same time, it can also provide buffer to ensure the stability of the structure.
