[0002] Jerusalem artichoke pickled vegetables, usually also known as pickled Japanese artichoke or pickled Jerusalem artichoke, are pickled vegetables mainly made of Jerusalem artichoke (also known as Jerusalem artichoke, Japanese artichoke). Jerusalem artichoke is native to North America, then introduced into Europe and finally into China. It belongs to an annual herb of the Compositae family and the Helianthus genus. It is cold-resistant and drought-tolerant, with strong adaptability. Its tubers are rich in fructose, inulin and glucose, and are excellent raw materials for pickling pickled vegetables.

Enlarging the mesh holes will screen out some qualified Jerusalem artichokes, resulting in great waste; and the sieve can only screen Jerusalem artichokes by volume, so some Jerusalem artichokes composed of long and thin rhizomes with large volume but small weight cannot be screened out, while Jerusalem artichokes with small volume but round appearance and large weight are often screened out, resulting in great waste.

[0021] After being discharged from the discharge port of the storage box 1, the Jerusalem artichoke falls into the groove of the feed trough 3, and slides or rolls downward along the feed trough 3 under the action of gravity; when the Jerusalem artichoke passes through the screening port 4 and the center of gravity of the Jerusalem artichoke is located just above the screening port 4, the Jerusalem artichoke separates from the feed trough 3 from the screening port 4; when the center of gravity of the Jerusalem artichoke is located just above the feed trough 3, the Jerusalem artichoke still slides or rolls downward along the feed trough 3.

[0022] As Figure 1 shown, a plurality of screening openings 4 are provided on the feeding chute 3, and the distance between one side of the screening opening 4 close to the bottom of the groove of the feeding chute 3 and the bottom of the groove of the feeding chute 3 decreases successively along the downward extending direction of the feeding chute 3.

[0023] The Jerusalem artichokes slide or roll downward along the feeding chute 3; the Jerusalem artichokes with different size specifications are respectively discharged from different screening openings 4 in sequence.

[0024] As Figure 1 shown, a plurality of feeding chutes 3 arranged in sequence are provided below the discharge opening, and the edges of adjacent feeding chutes 3 are connected.

The driving mechanism A9 rotates the end of the material distribution chute 7 away from the guide chute 5 to the corresponding material distribution pipe 8 according to the value detected by the weighing sensor A10. Then, the material distribution chute 7 is communicated with the corresponding material distribution pipe 8. After the Jerusalem artichokes enter the material distribution pipe 8, the material distribution chute 7 returns to its original position to wait for the next material distribution.

[0027] The screened Jerusalem artichokes are separated from the feeding chute 3 at the screening outlet 4 and fall onto the guiding chute 5. The Jerusalem artichokes slide or roll downward along the guiding chute 5 and enter the material dividing chute 7. The Jerusalem artichokes slide or roll on the material dividing chute 7. The weighing sensor A10 detects a change in the weight of the material dividing chute 7, and the driving mechanism A9 rotates the end of the material dividing chute 7 away from the guiding chute 5 to the corresponding material dividing pipe 8 according to the value detected by the weighing sensor A10. Then, the material dividing chute 7 communicates with the corresponding material dividing pipe 8.

The Jerusalem artichokes with the center of gravity in the screening chute 11 stay in the screening chute 11. The weighing sensor B14 detects that the weight of the screening chute 11 is greater than a certain value and sends a signal. After receiving the signal, the driving mechanism B13 is activated and drives the screening chute 11 to rotate until the end of the screening chute 11 close to the feeding chute 3 is lower than the hinged end of the screening chute 11. The screened Jerusalem artichokes slide or roll downward along the screening chute 11 and enter the aggregate chute A15.

[0034] The screened Jerusalem artichokes separate from the conveying trough 3 at the screening opening 4 and fall on the guide trough 5, and the Jerusalem artichokes slide or roll downward along the guide trough 5 and enter the distribution trough 7; the Jerusalem artichokes slide or roll on the distribution trough 7, the weighing sensor A10 detects a change in the weight of the distribution trough 7, and the driving mechanism A9 rotates the end of the distribution trough 7 away from the guide trough 5 to the corresponding distribution pipe 8 according to the value detected by the weighing sensor A10. Then, the distribution trough 7 is communicated with the corresponding distribution pipe 8. After the Jerusalem artichokes enter the distribution pipe 8, the distribution trough 7 returns to its original position to wait for the next distribution.

[0035] The screened Jerusalem artichokes are conveyed along the conveying trough 3 and enter the screening trough 11. For those Jerusalem artichokes whose center of gravity is directly above the discharge port 12, they separate from the screening trough 11 at the discharge port 12 and fall into the aggregate trough B16; for those Jerusalem artichokes whose center of gravity is in the screening trough 11, they stay in the screening trough 11.
