Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of corn cob grading, and particularly relates to a corn cob thickness grading device. Background Art

[0002] In the production and processing of corn, corn cobs of different thicknesses represent different growth conditions and qualities, and these differences will affect the taste and quality of corn. Therefore, in order to ensure the uniformity and consistency of the final product, it is crucial to grade the corn cobs.

[0003] However, the traditional corn cob grading method mainly relies on manual operation. Workers need to grade the corn cobs according to their thickness and then put them into corresponding cartons or other containers respectively. Although this method is intuitive, it has obvious deficiencies. First of all, manual grading requires a large amount of labor input, consuming physical strength and time, and the labor intensity is relatively high. Secondly, due to the instability of manual operation, it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy and consistency of the grading results, which may lead to uneven product quality. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] The utility model provides a corn cob thickness grading device, aiming to solve the problems in the above background art that the existing corn cob grading method is relatively labor-consuming and time-consuming, with a relatively high labor intensity, and it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy and consistency of the grading results.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the utility model is realized as follows. A corn cob thickness grading device includes: a housing, two brackets are fixedly installed at the top of the housing; a plurality of sliding rails welded to the two brackets, and a grading groove for grading corn cobs is formed in each of the plurality of sliding rails; a plurality of hoppers fixedly installed on the housing, and a warning light is fixedly installed on each of the plurality of hoppers; a plurality of weighing mechanisms installed on the housing for measuring the weight of corn cobs; and a plurality of shielding mechanisms assembled on the housing for shielding the plurality of hoppers.

[0006] Preferably, the weighing mechanism includes: a pressure sensor fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the housing, a support plate is fixedly installed on the pressure sensor; a plurality of damping pads fixedly installed on the top of the support plate, and a spring is fixedly installed on the top of each of the plurality of damping pads; a placement plate fixedly installed on the plurality of springs, and a groove for placing a carton is formed in the top of the placement plate.

[0007] Preferably, the shielding mechanism includes: a cylinder fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the housing; a baffle fixedly installed on the output rod of the cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, a controller is fixedly installed on an inner wall on one side of the housing, and foam pads are fixedly installed on inner walls of multiple hoppers.

[0009] Preferably, multiple sliding rods are slidably installed on multiple support plates, and bottom ends of the multiple sliding rods are fixedly connected to a bottom inner wall of the housing.

[0010] Preferably, the multiple baffles are all arranged in a rectangle, and sponge pads are fixedly installed on tops of the multiple baffles.

[0011] Preferably, multiple support blocks are welded to a bottom of the housing, and rubber pads for anti-slip are fixedly installed on bottoms of the multiple support blocks.

[0012] Compared with the related art, the corn cob thickness grading device provided by the present utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] Compared with the prior art, in the corn cob thickness grading device provided by this solution, corn cobs with different thicknesses are placed on a slide rail. Under the action of gravity, the corn cobs slide downward along the slide rail. Also, due to the shape of the grading groove, the corn cobs can fall from corresponding positions of the grading groove according to their thicknesses and enter corresponding hoppers. Then these corn cobs will fall into corresponding cartons, thereby achieving grading. Compared with the manual grading method, it can save time and effort and reduce labor intensity. The weighing mechanism can weigh the carton above it. When the corn cobs in the carton reach a certain weight, the controller will activate the warning light and the shielding mechanism above the carton, so that workers can replace the carton according to the light of the warning light. During the replacement, the shielding mechanism will shield the bottom of the corresponding hopper, so that the continuously falling corn cobs can be temporarily stored in the hopper, which is convenient for workers to replace the carton. After the replacement is completed, since the weighing mechanism does not receive excessive pressure, the controller will restore the shielding mechanism to its original state after five seconds or ten seconds, so that the corn cobs falling into the hopper continue to fall into the lower carton, and it is relatively convenient to use.

[0022] Referring to "embodiments" herein means that the specific features, structures or characteristics described in connection with the embodiments can be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The phrase appears at various positions in the specification and does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0023] An embodiment of the present utility model provides a corn cob thickness grading device. As Figure 1-6 shown, the corn cob thickness grading device includes: a housing 1, two brackets 2 fixedly installed at the top of the housing 1; a plurality of slide rails 3 welded to the two brackets 2, and a grading groove 4 for grading corn cobs is provided on each of the plurality of slide rails 3; a plurality of hoppers 5 fixedly installed on the housing 1, and a warning light 6 is fixedly installed on each of the plurality of hoppers 5; a plurality of weighing mechanisms installed on the housing 1 for measuring the weight of corn cobs; and a plurality of shielding mechanisms assembled on the housing 1 for shielding the plurality of hoppers 5.

[0024] In this embodiment, when using this device to grade corn cobs, first place cardboard boxes for collecting corn cobs on multiple weighing mechanisms. Then, place corn cobs of different thicknesses on the slide rail 3. Under the action of gravity, the corn cobs slide downward along the slide rail 3. Also, due to the shape of the grading slot 4, the corn cobs can fall from the corresponding positions of the grading slot 4 according to their thickness. And there are multiple hoppers 5 arranged below the slide rail 3, and the falling corn cobs will successively enter the corresponding hoppers 5. Then these corn cobs will fall into the corresponding cardboard boxes, thus achieving grading. When the corn cobs in a certain cardboard box reach a certain weight, the corresponding weighing mechanism will send a signal to make the warning light 6 above its cardboard box light up, and the shielding mechanism above its cardboard box will also operate, which will shield the bottom of the corresponding hopper 5, so that the continuously falling corn cobs can be temporarily stored in the hopper 5. When the worker sees the light of the warning light 6, he can replace the cardboard box below it. After the replacement is completed, the shielding mechanism will automatically release the shielding of the hopper 5 after five seconds or ten seconds according to the setting of the device, so that the corn cobs entering the hopper 5 can continue to fall into the cardboard box below, and the warning light 6 will also go out at this time. Thus, compared with the manual grading method, this device can save time and effort and reduce the labor intensity.

[0025] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the weighing mechanism includes: a pressure sensor 7 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the bottom of the housing 1, and a support plate 8 fixedly installed on the pressure sensor 7; a plurality of damping pads 9 fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 8, and springs 10 are fixedly installed on the tops of the plurality of damping pads 9; a placement plate 11 fixedly installed on the plurality of springs 10, and a groove for placing a cardboard box is formed on the top of the placement plate 11.

[0026] In this embodiment, the weighing mechanism is used to measure the weight of corn cobs. When grading corn cobs, as the corn cobs in the cardboard box increase, the pressure borne by the placement plate 11 will also increase. These pressures will be transmitted to the support plate 8 through the plurality of springs 10, and then the support plate 8 will exert pressure on the pressure sensor 7, so that the pressure sensor 7 can measure the weight of the corn cobs in the mass through this pressure. After the weight reaches the standard, a corresponding signal will be sent to this device to make the warning light 6 above its cardboard box light up, and the shielding mechanism above its cardboard box will also operate, which will shield the bottom of the corresponding hopper 5, so that it is convenient for the worker to replace its cardboard box. After the replacement is completed, the shielding mechanism will automatically release the shielding of the hopper 5 after five seconds or ten seconds according to the setting of the device, so that the corn cobs entering the hopper 5 can continue to fall into the cardboard box below, and the warning light 6 will also go out at this time. And so on.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the shielding mechanism includes: a cylinder 12 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the top of the housing 1; a baffle 13 fixedly installed on the output rod of the cylinder 12.

[0028] In this embodiment, the shielding mechanism is used to shield the hopper 5. When the weighing mechanism measures that the weight of the corn cobs in the carton reaches the standard, the device will activate the cylinder 12, so that the baffle 13 moves to shield the lower part of the hopper 5, enabling the continuously falling corn cobs to be temporarily stored in the hopper 5 to prevent the corn cobs from continuing to fall into the carton. This facilitates the replacement of the carton by the worker. After the replacement is completed, since the weighing mechanism is not under excessive pressure, the device will activate the cylinder 12 again after five or ten seconds to reset the baffle 13, allowing the corn cobs that have fallen into the hopper 5 to continue to fall into the lower carton.

[0029] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a controller 14 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of one side of the housing 1, and foam pads are fixedly installed on the inner walls of multiple hoppers 5.

[0030] In this embodiment, by introducing the controller 14, the device can achieve automated and intelligent control, improving the convenience and accuracy of operation. It can automatically adjust the operating state of the device according to preset programs or algorithms to adapt to different working requirements. Through the use of foam pads, the protection of corn cobs by the device has been significantly improved. The softness and buffering properties of the foam pads can ensure to a certain extent that the corn cobs remain intact during the grading process.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a plurality of sliding rods 15 are slidably installed on a plurality of support plates 8, and the bottom ends of the plurality of sliding rods 15 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the bottom of the housing 1.

[0032] In this embodiment, through the use of the sliding rods 15, it can be ensured that the support plates 8 can move vertically stably when under pressure, avoiding the situation of swaying left and right.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a plurality of the baffles 13 are all set to be rectangular, and sponge pads are fixedly installed on the tops of the plurality of baffles 13.

[0034] In this embodiment, through the use of the sponge pads, when the corn cobs come into contact with the baffle 13, it can play a good buffering role and provide good protection for the corn cobs.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of the present utility model, a plurality of support blocks are welded to the bottom of the housing 1, and anti-slip rubber pads are fixedly installed at the bottoms of the plurality of support blocks.

[0036] In this embodiment, by using a plurality of support blocks and a plurality of rubber pads, the device can be stably placed on the ground for use, is not prone to skidding with the ground, and can keep a certain distance between the bottom of the housing 1 and the ground, which facilitates the workers to carry the device with a forklift.

[0037] In summary, compared with the related art, in this solution, corn cobs of different thicknesses are placed on the slide rail 3. Under the action of gravity, the corn cobs slide down along the slide rail 3. Also, due to the shape of the grading groove 4, the corn cobs can fall from the corresponding positions of the grading groove 4 according to their thicknesses and enter the corresponding hoppers 5. Then these corn cobs will fall into the corresponding cardboard boxes, thereby realizing grading. Compared with the manual grading method, it can save time and effort and reduce the labor intensity. The weighing mechanism can weigh the cardboard box above it. When the corn cobs in the cardboard box reach a certain weight, the controller 14 will activate the warning light 6 and the shielding mechanism above the cardboard box, so that the workers can replace the cardboard box according to the light of the warning light 6. During the replacement, the shielding mechanism will shield the bottom of the corresponding hopper 5, so that the continuously falling corn cobs can be temporarily stored in the hopper 5, which facilitates the workers to replace the cardboard box. After the replacement is completed, since the weighing mechanism is not under excessive pressure, the controller 14 will restore the shielding mechanism to its original state after five seconds or ten seconds, so that the corn cobs falling into the hopper 5 will continue to fall into the cardboard box below, and it is relatively convenient to use.
