The inner wall of the one-way groove 83 is slidably connected with a slide block 85.
[0025] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2, the cleaning component further includes a first return groove 89. A first sliding rod 84 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first return groove 89. The first sliding rod 84 can move in a mouth shape with the first return groove 89 as the trajectory. A U-shaped rod 86 is fixedly connected to the front surface of the first sliding rod 84. A brush plate 87 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the U-shaped rod 86. A brush is provided on the lower surface of the brush plate 87, which can clean the surface of the sieve plate 7. When the servo motor 81 is not started, the brush plate 87 is located on the left side of the opening on the right surface of the box body 1, which can block the opening and ensure that the raw materials will not spill out from the opening of the box body 1 during the operation of the device. A second sliding rod 88 is fixedly connected to the rear surface of the brush plate 87. The second sliding rod 88 is in the shape of a short rod. A second return groove 810 is opened on the inner wall at the rear side of the box body 1. The trajectory of the second return groove 810 is the same as that of the first return groove 89.
[0026] Refer to Figure 4 , the quick-release component includes a fixed block 93. A round rod 92 penetrates and is slidably connected to the upper surface of the fixed block 93. A connecting rod 91 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the round rod 92. A retaining block 95 is elastically connected to the lower surface of the fixed block 93 through a second spring 94. A guiding groove 96 is opened on the inner wall at the front side of the box body 1. The retaining block 95 is located on the right side of the guiding groove 96, which can block the sieve plate 7. The sieve plate 7 is inserted into the guiding groove 96, and the sieve plate 7 can be withdrawn or inserted from the right surface of the box body 1 along the guiding groove 96.
[0027] Refer to Figure 1 , there are four groups of support legs 2, and the four groups of support legs 2 are distributed at the four corners of the lower surface of the box body 1. A plurality of openings are provided on the upper surface of the sieve plate 7, and the plurality of openings are uniformly distributed in an array on the upper surface of the sieve plate 7. The qualified raw materials can fall from the openings of the sieve plate 7, and the unqualified raw materials will remain on the surface of the sieve plate 7. The servo motor 81 is arranged on the front surface of the box body 1.
[0028] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the first sliding rod 84 penetrates and is rotatably connected to the front surface of the slider 85. The second sliding rod 88 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the second return groove 810, so that the brush plate 87 remains vertical during movement. The second sliding rod 88 can move in a mouth shape with the second return groove 810 as the trajectory. The first return groove 89 is opened on the front surface of the box body 1.
[0029] Refer to Figure 3 , Figure 4 , the round rod 92 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the retaining block 95. One end of the second spring 94 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed block 93, and the other end of the second spring 94 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the retaining block 95. When the retaining block 95 moves upward, the second spring 94 will be compressed, and the second spring 94 will generate a reaction force. There are two groups of fixed blocks 93 in total, and there are two groups of guiding grooves 96 in total. The two groups of fixed blocks 93 and guiding grooves 96 are symmetrically distributed about the box body 1 on the front side and the rear side of the box body 1.
[0030] Working principle: When the device is in use, the raw materials to be screened are placed on the surface of the sieve plate 7, and the vibration motor 3 is started. The vibration motor 3 drives the box 1 to vibrate, so that the potato flour with smaller particle size that meets the requirements in the raw materials passes through the opening of the sieve plate 7 and is discharged from the discharge pipe 5. After sufficient screening, the part of the raw materials with larger particle size that does not meet the requirements will remain on the surface of the sieve plate 7. At this time, the vibration motor 3 is turned off, and the servo motor 81 is started. The servo motor 81 drives the rocker arm 82 to rotate, and the rocker arm 82 drives the slider 85 to rotate. The slider 85 drives the slide bar 84 to make a square track in the return groove 89. The movement of the trace, at the same time, the slide bar 84 squeezes the slider 85 so that the slider 85 makes a reciprocating motion in the I-shaped groove 83, and the slide bar 84 drives the U-bar 86 to make a U-shaped motion synchronously, so the U-bar 86 drives the brush plate 87 to move upward first and detach from the surface of the sieve plate 7, and move to the left end of the sieve plate 7 above the sieve plate 7, and then the brush plate 87 moves downward so that the brush of the brush plate 87 contacts the surface of the sieve plate 7, and then the brush plate 87 moves to the right, bringing the unqualified raw materials on the surface of the sieve plate 7 to the right end of the sieve plate 7, and leaving the box body 1 from the opening on the right surface of the box body 1 falls onto the surface of the guide plate 6, and then slides down along the guide plate 6.
[0031] When the brush plate 87 moves to the right end of the sieve plate 7, it will move upward again to leave the sieve plate 7, move to the left end of the sieve plate 7 and then fall down to clean the sieve plate 7 again. This process is repeated many times until the unqualified raw materials on the surface of the sieve plate 7 are cleaned up, and then the servo motor 81 is turned off, and each part returns to the initial position, and subsequent screening work can be carried out.
[0032] When the sieve plate 7 is damaged or the screening standard changes and the sieve plate 7 needs to be replaced, the connecting rod 91 is moved upward, and the connecting rod 91 drives the round rod 92 to move upward, and the round rod 92 drives the stopper 95 to move upward. When the stopper 95 moves, the spring 94 is compressed, and the spring 94 generates a reaction force. At this time, the stopper 95 no longer restricts the sieve plate 7, and the sieve plate 7 can be pulled out. Then the new sieve plate 7 is inserted along the guide groove 96, and the connecting rod 91 is released. The stopper 95 moves downward under the reaction force of the spring 94 and restricts the sieve plate 7 to ensure that the sieve plate 7 will not detach from the box body 1 due to vibration when the device is working.
[0033] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
